2025 Utah Rural Schools Conference

This session will provide school staff with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to recognize the signs of suicidal ideation in students, offer immediate support, and respond effectively in crisis situations. Suicide prevention is a shared responsibility, and educators are often the first to notice signs of distress in students. By equipping staff with the proper training and resources, we can ensure that all students receive the support they need to navigate their challenges and find hope in difficult times. Utah requires all licensed educators to have regular suicide prevention training. This session will meet that requirement.
