Educators are in a critical but limited role to listen to vulnerable youth, observe warning signs for suicide, and refer or connect students to resources. SPTS helps educators understand this important role with an acclaimed online training program that is self-paced, comprehensive and offered free of charge. Through the use of role-plays, the training embraces school culture and presents real-life scenarios for youth suicide prevention methods. Survivors of suicide loss share their personal stories, while many mental health experts give detailed accounts regarding at-risk populations, warning signs, risk factors, and what the referral process means for educators, counselors and members of the school community. This program is offered online (www.sptsuniversity.org) and in-person.
