About This Webinar
Suicide can feel senseless, confusing, and even immobilizing. This webinar will guide educators through student mindsets regarding suicide and self-harm. We will explore how student profiles inform our understanding and response to risk dynamics, and how each layer of evidence-based suicide prevention can be an opportunity to encourage life-saving connections.
- Present profiles of student risk across the continuum
- Use a working model of risk dynamics to allow educators to dive deeper into student mindsets and community factors to feel more confident when recognizing signs
- Map how these student profiles and risk factors can be addressed or identified through multi-tiered and multi-faceted best practices
- Explore common barriers when students have been identified, screened, or referred out
- How does technology play a role in risk?
