This manual was designed for use by teachers, counselors, and administrators and as a supplement to other school curricula which deal with the subject of suicide. It provides for the dissemination of information beyond the student body and assists school jurisdictions with the organization of both prevention and crisis oriented plans. Section One, Understanding Adolescent Depression, contains general information on facts, myths, signs and symptoms, and resource agencies associated with suicide. Included in this section is information on dealing with the aftermath of a staff or student suicide. Section Two, Teaching Towards Suicide Prevention, presents lesson plan ideas for six concepts related to suicide: attitudes, facts and myths, signs and symptoms, communication, who can help, and bereavement. Section Three, Suggested Resources for Further Information, lists print materials, selected readings, and selected curricula for instruction in suicide awareness which teachers may find helpful. (NB)
