Updated Suicide Prevention Toolkit
Thursday October 24, 2024 10:45am - 12:15pm CDT
Redbud A
KSDE updated the guidance document for Kansas schools in 2023 for mental health in the area of suicide prevention, intervention, reintegration, and postvention. Attendees will learn about these updates as well as the resources available to staff and students to support needs of anyone in the school building who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. The updated guidance includes identification of risk factors, protective factors, screening, safety planning, consistency of care when a student receives support outside the school building, and how to provide a safe return to school when the student reengages with their learning community. Best practices in postvention after a tragic event will also be discussed. We hope you join us to sharpen your skills as we face the 2024-25 school year. Stay connected and stay well.
