This report was written as part of an attempt by the state of Vermont to significantly decrease the number of adolescents involved in self-destructive and suicidal behaviors. It focuses on schools as a starting point to preventing youth suicide in Vermont. The introduction outlines the extent of the problem of adolescent suicide. The remainder of the report is divided into three sections focusing on primary prevention, secondary prevention or intervention, and tertiary prevention or treatment. The section on primary prevention offers recommendations in the areas of parenting education, school climate, curriculum, stress and depression management, physical fitness management, nutrition management, safety, developing a written protocol, the Vermont Suicide Prevention Resource Center, and peer support. The section on secondary prevention concentrates on faculty and staff education and helping parents prevent youth suicide. The tertiary prevention section presents recommended protocols for use in dealing with a potential suicide, following a suicide attempt, and following a completed suicide. A bibliography is included. A sample brochure to send home with report cards, a list of areas of concern and recommendations, a description of the Vermont Prevention Training Team, and a list of professional resources are appended.
