Jason Foundation: Mental Health Issues Surrounding Suicidal Ideation (Module 2)
Description:
This training is a more in-depth study of the problem of youth suicide and how teachers/youth workers can make a difference by gaining the tools and resources to help an at-risk student. It uses the educator’s tools of observation, identification and intervention to hopefully direct a positive future for a young person who may be suffering from suicidal ideation. Information from experts is included as well as a discussion of some of the mental health issues surrounding suicidal ideation.
The is training is mandatory for all middle and high school educators with South Carolina licensure as a result of the Jason Flatt Act that was signed into law May 14, 2012, but may be fulfilled by completion of Signs Matter: Early Detection.
The law reads as follows: "Beginning with the 2013-2014 school year, the Department of Education shall require two hours of training in youth suicide awareness and prevention as a requirement for the renewal of credentials of individuals employed in a middle school or high school as defined in Section 59-1-150. The required training shall count toward the one hundred twenty renewal credits specified in Department of Education regulations for renewal of credentials." This training is required once for South Carolina licensed educators.
