In alignment with Ohio House Bill 123, all schools are required to provide students in grades 6–12 with at least one hour or class period of suicide awareness and prevention and one hour or class period of violence prevention education each year. These lessons must utilize evidence-based programs approved by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW) to ensure high-quality, effective instruction.

Our Suicide Prevention Coordinator partners with districts to provide expert guidance and hands-on support for implementing and sustaining suicide prevention efforts.

How We Can Help...

Together, we can help ensure every school has the knowledge, systems, and confidence to protect student well-being.

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) is a growing concern among adolescents, especially as awareness increases through social media and other platforms. Schools often face challenges in understanding and appropriately responding to this complex behavior.

Our Suicide Prevention Coordinator provides expert guidance and support to help schools develop effective prevention and response systems that prioritize student safety and well-being.

How We Can Support Your District...

By building clear, compassionate systems and practices, we help schools respond confidently and consistently when supporting students who engage in self-injury.

*These trainings are supported by county/ grant funding and therefore available at no cost.
