Suicide is a reality in U.S. public schools. Prevalence data indicate that one suicide every 5 years and about 170 suicidal behaviors annually take place at a typical high school. Unfortunately, many of the latter will not come to the attention of school staff and may eventually lead to off-campus suicides. However, when school staff do become aware of a student’s suicidal behavior, diligent school psychologists and counselors, in partnership with other school personnel and community-based professionals, can do something about it.
