Chaptered as California Education Code ( EC) Section 215, AB 2246 mandates that the Governing Board of any LEA that serves pupils in grades seven to twelve, inclusive, adopt a policy on pupil suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. (O’Donnell) addressed this issue by requiring LEAs to adopt suicide prevention policies before the beginning of the 2017–18 school year. The CDE selected LivingWorks Start as the online training program and the San Diego County Office of Education as the lead to make this online training available, at no cost, to local educational agencies (LEAs) to voluntarily use as part of their youth suicide prevention policy. The training is being launched in two phases: Phase One will include the rollout of the program for middle and high school staff in late May 2020 Phase Two includes the roll out of the training for middle and high school students in mid-September 2020. The bill also called for the training to be offered to middle and high school students. Our mission is to help LEAs build their capacity and connect them to their local resources, connect them to their COE, county behavioral health department, and community mental health and suicide prevention/postvention resources.ĪB 1808 added Section 216 to the California Education Code and provided funding to ensure school staff was prepared to identify, support, and refer middle and high school students who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide. The team will ensure affected local educational agencies (LEAs) receive accurate and timely information, resources to fill in gaps identified assistance with messaging to staff, parents, students, and the media and help them find ways to support staff, parents, and students. The SSPRT will serve as a support with whom districts can talk about the process of postvention. The primary goal of the SSPRT is to offer support and guide a district affected by a suicide through this difficult and confusing period. The SSPRT was formed to support districts in navigating the journey after a youth or staff suicide. The Statewide Suicide Postvention Response Team (SSPRT) is a prong of the SMHPW’s Suicide Prevention Committee.
