NASP is committed to working to prevent the suicide
behavior and deaths of children and youth. Schools and school psychologists
play a critical role in youth suicide prevention by:
- Creating safe, supportive
learning environments
- Educating adults and young
people on the signs and symptoms of suicide
- Identifying students at risk
of suicide and other self-harm behaviors, and providing interventions,
counseling, and referrals to community services
- Providing support to students
who have attempted suicide, which facilitates their continued safety and
successful learning
