They are listed below the spring 2019 dates on both webpages. Suicide Prevention Resources As you may be aware, two Parkland students and one Sandy Hook parent have died by suicide in the past week. While exact cause and triggers are unknown, their deaths are in “proximity” to the anniversaries of the Parkland shootings and the March for Our Lives protests, as well as the extensive media and social media attention to the New Zealand shootings. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has a number of resources addressing identification, assessment, and intervention in possible suicidal situations. These include: • Sharing information with staff and families on risk factors and warning signs • Alerting crisis prevention/response teams at your schools to be attentive and vigilant regarding any rumors regarding students’ behaviors • Reviewing risk assessment and intervention procedures and protocols • Monitoring social media NASP also has additional suicide prevention resources online to share as you may deem appropriate.
