Suicide prevention
Last updated on 19 September 2024
Incidents of suicide attempts and deaths are not something that happen very often, but unfortunately are a reality that has a profound impact on the school and wider community. Finding the correct information for support in the midst of an incident can be difficult as it is often spread across multiple websites, emails, and leaflets, making it more challenging for schools.
To aid Hertfordshire education settings supporting their school community, staff and pupils, the below resources have been developed to share the available services, information and guidance for mental health and suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
