This introductory level offering explores the myths and facts of suicide and how to intervene with youth struggling with suicidal ideation.
Based on three SAMHSA Nationally Recognized Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) youth suicide prevention programs, this training uses, video, discussion, and role-play to enable participants to feel comfortable identifying signs and symptoms of youth suicide and how to assist a camper who may be suicidal.
This course is presented by trainers from the Center for School Behavioral Health at Mental Health America of Greater Houston (the Center) as part of its Emotional Backpack Project.

- Providing highly specialized professional development opportunities, technical assistance, and community education
- Conducting research, advocacy, and policy analysis.
