UMatter for Schools Youth Suicide Prevention:

The Lifelines Curriculum Training

DESCRIPTION

Made possible by a statewide, federally-funded youth suicide prevention initiative, the Lifelines Curriculum teaches middle and high school students that suicide is preventable and caring adults are available to help. Designed to fit easily into health class programming and lesson plans, Lifelines emphasizes the facts about suicide and the student’s role in suicide prevention. Training materials include practical information for faculty and staff on identifying and referring students who might be at risk for suicide as well as a presentation for parents who have questions about youth suicide prevention and who desire to become involved in the school’s prevention activities.
