Lifelines Trilogy Training will focus on Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention.

Prevention addresses the whole school community by providing suicide awareness resources for administrators, faculty and staff, parents and guardians, and students. It also includes information about enhancing protective factors that increase resilience and provide buffers from stress.

Intervention training is based on a four-tiered approach:

• Using a public health approach to suicide

• Addressing early identification and assessment of at-risk students

• Making referrals to community resources for additional services

• Considering what resources need to be in place for students returning to school after a suicide-related absence

Postvention is a comprehensive whole school best practices program specifically designed for primary and secondary school communities. This unique program educates everyone in the school community about how to successfully address and respond not only to suicide, but to any type of traumatic death that profoundly affects the school population. With in-dept references and detailed plans, this training outlines a response strategy that reflects the challenges schools face in dealing with a death.
