Suicide Prevention
DEADLINE for completing is December 1st
Licensed teachers and principals in Mississippi began receiving suicide prevention training in January 2010. The training was a result of Senate Bill 2770 and will enable teachers and principals to better identify risk factors and warning signs that indicate a student may be considering taking his/her life. The Mississippi Department of Mental Health (DMH) and the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE), Office of Healthy Schools are continuing to work together to prepare local school districts in this very important endeavor.
DMH and MDE have selected the Yellow Ribbon, Be a Link! Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training Program to be used in the elementary school settings. DMH and MDE selected the Signs of Suicide (SOS) Program for the middle and high school settings. The program is recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices.
