2 What s a school crisis? All hazards and threats to the safety of the students, staff and environment. Active shooter Suicide Violence Natural disaster What else?
3 School Crisis Suicide is the second leading cause of death for year olds. On average, 1 young person every 1 hour and 48 minutes killed themselves. If the 311 suicides below age 15 are included, 1 young person every 1 hour and 42 minutes). More teenagers and young adults die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease, COMBINED. School shooting. American Association of Suicidology, 2012
4 Workshop Focus Overview of Postvention Guidelines. Roles for administration, staff/faculty, crisis teams, & parents. Rational to incorporate community BH resources. Importance of best practice during response and recovery. Discuss sample tools for response.
5 Florida Mental Health Institute When schools cease to attend to suicide prevention programs, the facts surrounding suicide fail to be communicated to faculty, staff and students. If this happens, a true understanding about adolescent suicide becomes clouded by false myths and presumptuous ideas, which surround the topic of suicide and act as a barrier for suicide prevention programs. Florida Mental Health Institute 2003
6 Postvention A term first coined by Shneidman (1981), the American Association of Suicidology (1998) defines suicide postvention as The provision of crisis intervention, support and assistance for those affected by a completed suicide.
7 Postvention=Prevention continuum PREVENTION PR PREVENT INTERVENTION RESPONSE (POSTVENTION) What can be done to reduce the probability of a suicide? What efforts are applied during the immediacy of a suicide? What processes are used to lessen the stress reactions to a suicide or attempt? Early Identification & Referral Programs/Projects Curriculum oriented Student based Adult dependent Policies & Procedures Safe Schools Plan Situation Stabilization Facts, Feelings, and Action Crisis Teams School District Community/Regional
8 The Goals for Postvention Provide support Reduce suicide contagion Educate on prevention and awareness Provide information Address stigma NASP, 2015
9 Levels of Response School-Limited to school settings & schoolbased personnel. District-These are events where support and involvement is required from school district personnel or members of the District Crisis Team. Community/Regional-These include largescale events during which coordination of services from the school district and local community response agencies is warranted.
10 School Suicide Prevention Plan Every school should have a suicide protocol plan as mandated by the Safe School Plan. Components should include: Identification of key players District policy Action Plan Available resources within the school and community Lines of communication
11 Safe School Plan Guidance Document from Public Education Department (PED), 2008 for Safe Schools Planning NMAC School District Wellness Policy National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command Structure (ICS)

Wisconsin Components of School-Based Suicide Prevention, Intervention, Postvention Model
15 Goals for Crisis Team To manage the emotional fallout within the school community. To decrease the potential for copycat behavior especially if the crisis is a suicide. To identify potential at-risk students for immediate support and connecting to resources.
16 SUICIDE CONTAGION IS REAL Suicide contagion or copycat suicides is the behavior that leads to clusters of suicides. Suicide cluster- a group of suicides or suicide attempts, or both, that occur close together in time and space. Teenagers and young adults are most at risk. They model the behaviors of their peers and the tendency to act impulsively.
