Topic: Suicide Prevention & Awareness
‘When students are struggling with suicidal thoughts, they often turn to friends and adults that they trust. As school staff, it can be scary when we want to support our students but do not know how. This training will help you develop a stronger understanding of suicidality and how you can respond if a student confides in you.’
Topic: The Trauma-Informed Classroom
‘When working with students who have experienced trauma, it can be difficult to manage feelings and behaviors that emerge in the classroom. Having a foundational understanding of trauma-informed classrooms allows educators to meet students’ needs in an evidence-based way that can have a significant impact on the class as a whole. This training will help you better understand how to identify students who have experienced trauma, support their emotional needs, and create a more comfortable school environment.’
