Program:
Spotting Students at Risk: The Educator’s Role in Preventing Suicide
This will be a pre-recorded School Safety Education Video for South Dakota Educators through Safe & Sound Schools to be used for a year.
Audience: K-12 educators
Program duration: 45min to 90min training, virtual
How can you spot students who might be at risk for suicide? What do you do if you feel like someone is at risk? How do you have difficult conversations? How do you find support?
Whether it’s having a conversation with someone who is stressed or talking to someone who might be suicidal, this presentation will empower educators with the words and tools needed to be the bridge to support. You don’t have to fix this. But you can allow another human to feel seen and heard which is the greatest gift you can offer.
Learning outcomes:
- How to spot students/co-workers at risk and what to say/do
- How to be a trusted adult and wisdom guide
- Simple shifts in teaching that promote wellness and enhance learning
- The art of listening
- Self-care for you

I’ll be there
This suicide prevention training video is recorded for the state of South Dakota K-12 educators. Do let me know what you think!
I would love to do a mental health and suicide prevention training for the university. I do them frequently at colleges. That one is two hours if I can get that long.
