Suicide Prevention in Schools. A Center Policy Issues Analysis Brief
Center for Mental Health in Schools at UCLA
Policy makers remain in conflict over whether schools should play a institutionalized role in preventing student suicide. This brief highlights two other major related questions that are at issue: (1) Does suicide education stigmatize some students and increase that risk of suicide ideation? and (2) Should schools be involved in monitoring students identified as suicidal risks?
