This online learning session is for school counselors who support youth suicide prevention and school wellness efforts in their schools and is based on Stephen Sharps’ recently published book, Lives Worth Living: Applying Zero Suicide as a Prevention Approach for Schools. The Zero Suicide components, Lead, Educate, Identify, Engage, Care, Connect, Improve, will be contextualized within school settings to shift from reactive to proactive cultures of student support and safety, as well as how this framework integrates into other school structures such as the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). This session will offerered insights and actionable tools for school counsel not just to save student’s lives from suicide but to help them create lives worth living.
