Suicide Training

Welcome to the Mandatory Suicide Training Page

In 2017, the Indiana General Assembly passed legislation requiring all school corporations to adopt a policy intended to increase child suicide awareness and prevention. The statute sets forth specific items that must be addressed in this policy. Additionally, beginning after June 30, 2018, each school corporation, charter school, and accredited nonpublic school shall require all teachers (as defined in IC 20-18-2-22) and other appropriate school employees in schools with grades 5-12 to attend or participate in at least two hours of research-based in-service youth suicide awareness and prevention training every three school years.

Per IC 20-28-3-6, the training: beginning after June 30, 2018, is required for all teachers, including a Superintendent licensed under IC 20-28-5; principal; teacher; librarian; school counselor; school psychologist; school nurse; school social worker; and also may include any other appropriate school employees; shall count toward the requirements for professional development required by the governing body.

(Please note: If your position is not listed above, you are not required to complete this training. If you still want to take it, contact your building principal for approval and email John Cordray (letting him know you have been approved to complete it).
