78. Ideas for Suicide Prevention Month for School Counselors
Update: 2024-09-18
Description
In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most important topics we face as school counselors—suicide prevention. As someone who has experienced the heartbreaking reality of losing students to suicide, this topic is very personal for me. But it’s also a call to action for all of us.
Here’s what you can expect from today’s episode:
- I share my own experiences as a school counselor and how suicide has impacted the schools I’ve worked in.
- We’ll talk about how September is Suicide Prevention Month and why it’s the perfect time to raise awareness with your students.
- I walk you through simple, effective strategies like classroom presentations, partnering with teachers, and creating safe spaces for students to talk about mental health.
- You’ll hear about real ways to make a difference with events like mental health fairs, anonymous drop boxes, and even role-playing scenarios to teach kids how to support their peers.
- Plus, I’m sharing a freebie! Download your 988 posters to hang up in your schools to help promote the suicide prevention hotline in a student-friendly way.
