Youth Suicide Prevention Program

The Youth Suicide Prevention Program is made up of a group of students who get

trained in the 1st semester and then make presentations in classrooms of interested

teachers.  Training takes place once a year with Mary Jadwisiak, the Youth Suicide

Prevention Field Coordinator for our area.  Only those students who are trained can

participate in the classroom presentations.  Students present suicide facts, perform

role-playing scenarios, and go into how to access needed help for students who are at

risk.  Students are trained to seek help and not do any counseling if they become aware

of any student who is suicidal.  Students who are interested in learning more about

the program or to be included in the training process  should contact Mr. Jones in the

counseling center.     360-885-5002          jones.richard@bgsd.k12.wa.us
