Step By Step
Suicide Prevention, Intervention, Postvention:
The Suicide Prevention, Intervention, Postvention: Step by Step Guide was created by the Willamette Education Service District and Lines for Life. This resource is guided by the principle that suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention are everyone’s business and that our schools need an approachable, easy-to-use guide for creating a policy that reflects that.
For more information, please contact Shay Clarke, YouthLine Statewide School Suicide Prevention Manager, at SSPW@linesforlife.org. If you would like to receive the School Suicide Prevention and Wellness monthly newsletter, sign up here.
