Prevention includes education efforts to alert students and the community to the problem of teen suicidal behavior . Intervention with a suicidal student is aimed at protecting and helping the student who is currently in distress . Postvention occurs after there has been a suicide in the school community. It attempts to help those affected by the recent suicide. In all cases it is a good idea to have a clear plan in place in advance. It should involve staff members and administration. There should be clear protocols and clear lines of communication. Careful planning can make interventions more organized, and effective. Intervention With a Suicidal Student Many schools have a written protocol for dealing with a student who shows signs of suicidal or other dangerous behavior . Some schools have automatic expulsion policies for students who engage in illegal or violent behavior. It is important to remember that teens who are violent or abuse drugs may be at increased risk for suicide . If someone is expelled, the school should attempt to help the parents arrange immediate, and possibly intensive psychiatric and behavioral intervention.

Initiatives in Rhode Island Prepared by The RI Suicide Prevention Planning Team June 2000 Revised July 2000 Northeast Injury Prevention Network Suicide Data Book: Rhode Island Data Highlights Gender Similar to national figures, in 1996 among Rhode Islanders 10-75+, females attempted suicide more often than males (80.6/100,000 vs. 59.4/100,000 people) but males completed suicide at a rate five times greater than the rate for females (16.3/100,000 vs. 3.8/100,000)*.

Great Bend NEA by Judy Johnson, President Great Bend is proactive in promoting school and student safety. Before the tragedies in Colorado and other parts of our country, the district and the city of Great Bend began developing the position of school liaison police officer. That officer spends 80 percent of his time in the schools. He coordinates Crimestoppers and a youth forum at Great Bend High School and at Great Bend Middle School. In a joint effort with the district and the police department, emergency procedures have been updated and revised. This spring, Great Bend Middle School (GBMS) took a team of 12 students to the attorney general's "Increase the Peace" summit. The summit provided training for team-building, an opportunity for students to identify the problems in their own schools, and empowered the students attending to accept some control to self-monitor. GBMS team members presented to the student body a program explaining the district's expectations of acceptable behavior. The groups are planning regular assemblies, posters for the hall and other activities to model responsible behaviors throughout the year.

Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Services in Schools Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Services in Schools Ralph E. Cash, Ph.D., NCSP, NASP Health Care Initiative Libby Kuffner Nealis, NASP Director of Public Policy Congressional attention to the mental health needs of children and adolescents has continued to increase significantly over the past year.  The heightened focus is due in large measure to departing U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher A number of recent legislative initiatives in Congress reflect the increased awareness of mental health issues.  Unfortunately there is still not clear recognition that schools are a natural context in which to provide effective prevention and intervention services for children and youth.  It is imperative that school psychologists communicate to Congress the benefits of school-based mental health services and the resources that are necessary to make them accessible and appropriate for all youngsters. Youth Suicide Prevention Suicide is among the ten leading causes of death worldwide each year and is one the top five causes among 15-19 year olds (World Health Organization (WHO), 2001). Indeed, more teenagers and young adults die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease
