This workshop addresses the urgent need for comprehensive school-based suicide prevention strategies to respond to rising rates of hopelessness and suicidal thoughts among youth. Participants will explore the Multi-Tiered Suicide Prevention (MTSP) framework, developed by the Education Development Center (EDC), which offers six key components for effective school-based suicide prevention. This session will include data insights on the framework’s effectiveness, two school district case studies, and practical tools to address youth suicide. Attendees will have the opportunity to complete a portion of the MTSP framework’s environmental assessment and engage in discussions on current strategies to enhance school prevention efforts. We also will discuss SEL and other aspects of upstream prevention in tiers 1-3.
