Prevention and Responsive Culture
Having a prevention, response and postvention plan in place before suicide occurs enables districts and schools to respond in an organized and effective manner. This toolkit contains information that schools can use to coordinate the development of a plan that fits the needs of their specific community.
The Kansas Suicide Prevention, Intervention, Reintegration and Postvention Toolkit is a comprehensive guide that provides step-by-step guidance for setting up a systematic approach to suicide prevention, response and postvention. The essential forms from the toolkit are available below that can be downloaded for easy access and use by the appropriate school personnel.
