Suicide Prevention Awareness Parent Webinar-English Language

Suicide Prevention and Awareness is part of LAUSD’s Every School Safe training modules that

will touch on various important topics throughout the school year. In the month of September,

trainings on this topic will be available to students and teachers, as well as parents/caregivers.

Within LAUSD and across the nation, an overwhelming number of students come to school

every day with a myriad of adversities and mental health problems that compromise their

ability to learn. It is crucial to highlight the importance of mental health and taking care of

ourselves daily.

The Suicide Prevention Awareness for Parents training module encourages parents to utilize the

three steps of the Say Something program developed by Sandy Hook Promise. Parents/

caregivers will learn to SEE something or recognize the warning signs and threats of suicide and

harm, ACT immediately and take it seriously, and SAY something. The training will provide an

overview of mental health, provide tips for parents/caregivers on how to have a conversation

with their child about suicide, and will review Trusted Adults at school, and community

resources to reach out to for support.
