Webinar for South Dakota Educators: Model School Policy on Suicide Prevention

Tuesday, September 29, 2020

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) will provide an overview of the Model School District Policy on Suicide Prevention, which provides a thorough plan for school districts to implement suicide prevention policies in their local community. The webinar will be tailored to address the specific needs of South Dakota educators, based on a quick pre-webinar survey that will be sent out ahead of time. Developed in collaboration with the American School Counselor Association, the National Association of School Psychologists, and The Trevor Project, the program outlined in the model policy is research-based and easily adaptable for middle and high schools.

Whether you are a school administrator, educator, board member, counselor, psychologist, or other school personnel, this webinar will provide you with the information and tools you need to effectively put policy into practice with a comprehensive suicide prevention plan.
