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 virtual training is designed specifically for school-based mental health professionals and the administrators who support them.  Additionally, Community Mental Health Professionals working in or collaborating closely with school systems can attend!

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 regional professionals facing similar challenges.
