Resources for Clinicians

As mental health professionals, we know you are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to help individuals experiencing mental health issues. However, dealing with suicide, suicidal ideation, and teen or adolescent suicide can sometimes be a whole separate matter. You may have found your way to our site to find our more information about suicide prevention, or to learn more about youth mental health, and either way we have the resources for you.

From webinars to PDF printable resources, SPTS has curated resources for clinicians spanning from topics such as the FACTS warning signs for suicide that can be shared with clients, mental health resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Supporting People Through Grief and Trauma, these resources will help you help your clients through difficult and challenging times.

Online Training For Educators

ACT on FACTS is an updated version of the Best Practices, free, online training for educators Making Educators Partners in Youth Suicide Prevention offered by the Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide. It provides two hours of professional development credit to educators at the discretion of your local school district, but is open to anyone who is interested in reviewing current strategies for youth suicide prevention in schools.

For clinicians working with youth, understanding how youth suicide prevention is approached in schools is important. Understanding the process that occured for a particular student to be referred to you for care can greatly help your support of that client.
