Assessing and Addressing School Needs in Suicide Prevention
Supporting Schools in Multi-Tiered Suicide Prevention
EDC has published a new article, “Assessing and Addressing School Needs in Suicide Prevention,” by Shawna Jones and Richard Fournier.
As students return to school during Suicide Prevention Month, this article highlights EDC’s Multi-Tiered Suicide Prevention (MTSP) framework and a free Environmental Assessment tool to help schools evaluate and strengthen their suicide prevention efforts.
Notably:
- 20% of high school students considered suicide in 2023.
- Schools using MTSP report stronger capacity and impact.
- Free tools and guidance are available to help districts take action now.
