Suicide Prevention Playbook: Suicide Prevention Policy

Being confronted with suicide in a school is a very traumatic event . At such a moment it helps to be able to fall back on a well-developed suicide prevention scenario that clearly indicates how best to respond, communicate and offer help . Moreover, such a suicide prevention policy can ensure that you can intervene at the first signs of suicidality in order to prevent worse .

We support your school in drawing up such a suicide prevention scenario . This scenario contains guidelines regarding coordination, communication and action in the following situations:

• What to do with signals?
• What to do in a crisis?
• What to do after a suicide attempt?
• What to do after a suicide?
