Schools are key settings for suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. Most children and youth spend most of their day in school where caring and trained adults are available to help them. Teachers, mental health providers, and all other school personnel who interact with students can play an important role in keeping them safe (VDH, 2019). School personnel have a legal and ethical responsibility to recognize and respond to suicidal thinking and behavior, as well as other indicators of concern.

Schools must have clear policies and procedures for suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention, as well as trained school-employed mental health professionals and crisis response teams.
