This award winning, evidence based suicide prevention program teaches students how to identify signs and symptoms of depression in themselves and their friends, and how to respond effectively. This program teaches peer to peer messaging using the ACT acronym: Acknowledge that there may be in issue, Let your friend know that you Care, and Tell a trusted adult. The PSESD is adding a section to SOS on developing school wide plans to support compliance with RCW28A.320.127.

PSESD Professional Development Cancellation Policy

A full refund will be granted if PSESD cancels the course. If a participant needs to cancel their registration for an event, the following guidelines apply:

• A 90% refund will be granted if an email notice of cancellation is received by the PSESD class coordinator more than three full working days prior to the class start date. (e.g., if a class starts on Friday, the registration would need to be cancelled by 11:59 PM the Monday prior to the class)
• If the registration fee was paid by credit card 120 days before the cancelation, the refund will appear on the credit card used for the initial transaction. If it is beyond the 120 days, a refund check will be issued.
• If the registration fee was secured with a purchase order, only the cancellation fee will be invoiced. Registrants should notify their district that they did not attend the course.
