Training Teachers To Respond to Risk Project:
As a helping profession, teachers play a pivotal role in the lives of children and youth. When it comes to mental health and suicide prevention, we also know that early intervention is key…but how do teachers entering the profession know to identify possible warning signs – and connect vulnerable students to the help and resources they need?
With support from the Max Bell Foundation, Centre for Suicide Prevention’s workshops on child and youth suicide prevention help those in “helping professions” gain the knowledge and skills they need to respond. These workshops will be available for free to all pre-service student teachers and educational assistants across Alberta’s universities and colleges in 2020.
