Northwest Regional Education Service District sent this bulletin at 09/09/2024 01:47 PM PDT

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. |  September 9, 2024 September School Safety News As we begin a new school year, it's important to recognize September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. This month serves as a vital reminder to prioritize the mental health and well-being of our students, staff, and community members.   The start of the school year brings new challenges and stresses, making it an ideal time to foster a culture of care and connection. Prevention starts with creating an educational environment where students feel a sense of belonging and safety. ODE's Care and Connection Toolkit provides guidance and activities for creating welcoming spaces and promoting health and well-being. NWRESD's BASES Collaboratives (info below) take this a step further and provide school teams the opportunity to assess their own systems and identify strengths and areas for growth in order to ensure all students and staff feel supported.   Recognizing the critical need to equip our school staff and community partners with the tools they need to support our students effectively, we are expanding our training opportunities in mental health and suicide prevention, focusing on practical strategies for identifying risk factors and warning signs, intervening early, and responding effectively. Unless otherwise noted, these trainings are open to all school staff and community partners in our region.   Additionally, consultation and coaching is available to support teams in completing or updating comprehensive Suicide Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention Plans (required by Adi's Act) and ensuring that staff have access to the necessary training. Suicide can impact anyone, and it's vital that we come together to break the silence and stigma surrounding mental health.   Neha Hertzog School Safety & Prevention Specialist Email School Safety & Prevention Upcoming Professional Learning Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) ASIST is an in-depth, two-day workshop that teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety using LivingWorks’ evidence-based Pathway for Assisting Life (PAL) model.
