This one day training is specifically designed for leaders in education including but not limited to: building administrators, counselors, social workers, school psychologists, members of a district's Flight/Crisis Response teams.
PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended to complete training in suicide prevention, intervention, and/or Flight Team/Crisis Response training PRIOR to attending postvention training.
***Individuals who have experienced a loss from suicide, particularly a recent loss (such as within the past year), may find that a suicide postvention training evokes discomfort and/or feelings of regret. It is recommended that anyone who is impacted by a loss to suicide contact the instructor before attending the training to determine their readiness for prevention training and to discuss any alternative programs which may be more appropriate. Similarly, although Postvention training is focused on healing, the subject matter may be difficult for newer survivors. Survivors are encouraged to contact Connect staff in advance to discuss their readiness for participation.***
