Youth Suicide Prevention Program: A Project of Help On Call and Family Crisis Service.
Stromee, Victoria Margaret
This document describes a youth suicide prevention program in Arizona developed jointly by the Help On Call Crisis Line and the Family Crisis Service to provide an area-wide school-based prevention program for use in a multicultural community. A review of programs in other cities and states is described and the decision to develop a cognitive-behavioral model is explained. The formation of a team to assist in developing the program objectives, reviewing the proposed lesson plans and workshop outlines, and helping control community resistance is also described. Program goals are identified and the holding of a one-day city-wide conference for high school counselors to introduce them to the program is discussed. Classroom presentations of the program are described and classroom techniques of guided imagery, group discussion, and role play are explained. The adult in-service portion of the program is described as a way to provide general information to school personnel and parents about adolescent development, pathological and normative depression, and how to respond to a troubled youth. Difficulties encountered in implementing the program and in reaching native American youth living on reservations are reviewed. (NB)
