In an effort to adhere to the PPS Suicide Prevention Policy adopted by the school board on January 12, 2021, each school is required to submit a School-Wide Suicide Prevention Plan to the Student Success and Health Department as they are the office of record.

The plan shall be created in collaboration with your school team (School Psychologist, School Social Worker, School Counselor, QMHP, Admin,  etc.) The goal is to maintain a comprehensive approach to address suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention (a crisis intervention strategy designed to reduce the risk of suicide and suicide contagion after a suicide death).

Each School-Wide Suicide Prevention Plan shall include prevention, intervention, and postvention strategies that are culturally and linguistically responsive and submitted by January 12, 2023. The plan can and should be a living and iterative document.
