Clear, practical guidance and support for secondary schools in suicide prevention and response.

As a school, you play a key role in supporting young people who may be thinking about suicide or have been affected by suicide.

The Suicide Prevention and Response resources provide clear, practical and reliable guidance and support to help schools in suicide prevention and response.

The resources provide strategies for supporting students, staff, families and the broader community. Specifically, you can use this information to:

  • prepare your school community to be ready should a death by suicide occur
  • guide your school on how to support a young person at risk of suicide
  • guide your school response to a death by suicide and the subsequent recovery for the community.
