SafeSide CARE: Evidence-Based Suicide Prevention Framework

Empower your school team with a unified, compassionate, and systematic approach to suicide prevention.

In the high-stakes environment of school mental health, having a clear, shared framework isn’t just helpful—it’s essential for student safety and staff confidence. This interactive, two-part in-person training is designed specifically for educators, and others interested in supporting student mental health systems.

Training Overview

Move beyond basic compliance and dive into an evidence-based framework that balances clinical rigor with heartfelt connection. Over two half-day sessions, we will explore the four pillars of the SafeSide CARE model:

• Connect: Build the foundational alliance needed to understand a student’s unique context and experience.

• Assess: Move toward collaborative information gathering to develop person-specific supports.

• Respond: Master best-practice interventions, including safety planning, expert consultation, and seamless referrals.

• Extend: Implement long-term strategies and skills that support students in their daily lives, far beyond the immediate crisis.

Why Attend?

This isn’t just another webinar; it’s a professional “thought-partnering” space. You will:

• Practice Key Skills: Engage in hands-on exercises to sharpen your response techniques.

• Bridge Policy & Practice: Learn how to effectively apply these frameworks within the unique constraints and opportunities of your specific school setting.

• Network with Peers: Collaborate with other education professionals facing similar challenges.
