Because each person is unique, there is no single reason why people choose to end their lives. However, from research we know that there are several factors that may contribute to a person engaging in suicidal behaviour. Mental disorder, most commonly depression, appears to be the most important risk factor for suicide and suicide attempts. Research from the Canterbury Suicide Project in Christchurch has found that young people who have died by suicide, or who have made a serious suicide attempt, often have shared circumstances, such as: they have some underlying psychological distress or mental illness they display some recognisable mental health or adjustment difficulty before the suicide attempt immediately before the suicide attempt they may face a severe stress or life crisis that often centres around the breakdown of an emotional or supportive relationship they tend to come from disturbed or unhappy family and childhood backgrounds they tend to come from socially and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds.

5431-R SUICIDE PREVENTION REGULATION The purpose of these guidelines is to provide clear policies and procedures in the event of suicidal behavior being presented by any student in kindergarten through grade 12. These guidelines have been developed to address the roles of school and community service agency personnel in providing counseling crisis-intervention services. The procedures are designed to ensure that the district has done its best as an educational institution to prevent suicide, to obtain appropriate services for youth at risk of suicide, and to assist the school and community to deal effectively with suicide or suicidal behaviors. A. General Provisions Confidentiality: In the case of the threatening situations, students and staff members involved must understand that confidential information will only be released to parties designated by the Superintendent of Schools to assist individuals in suicide prevention. All reports on individual cases shall be kept in a confidential file by the Building Principal. Staff members under no circumstances shall release information regarding an alleged student suicidal behavior, or actual suicides, to the media. The Superintendent of Schools or a designee is the sole person who shall communicate with the media with respect to such matters.

Kate has told Jen on more than one occassion that she smokes marijuana, slits her wrists, and has contemplated suicide. Since the first time Kate told Jen, they have become best friends. Only Jen, 2 other guys, and myself know about Kate's situation. Jen always checks on Kate and asks her if she has been having "those feelings" again. Sometimes Kate says yes, and sometimes she says no. Jen believes Kate is in denial, and is frustrated with the mixed messages Kate gives her. jen asks continually if she wants help, but Kate always refuses. Jen feels responsible for Kate. Jen is very frustrated on what to do. She doesn't know how to help Kate. Us, the people that know about kates problem, think it started at home, but it is more that that. Kates sisters have both gotten pregnant at a very young age. Kates parents are sooo protective of Kate that they always "coincidentally" go to the same places that she goes with her friends (ex. exact SAME theatre)

Great Bend NEA by Judy Johnson, President Great Bend is proactive in promoting school and student safety. Before the tragedies in Colorado and other parts of our country, the district and the city of Great Bend began developing the position of school liaison police officer. That officer spends 80 percent of his time in the schools. He coordinates Crimestoppers and a youth forum at Great Bend High School and at Great Bend Middle School. In a joint effort with the district and the police department, emergency procedures have been updated and revised. This spring, Great Bend Middle School (GBMS) took a team of 12 students to the attorney general's "Increase the Peace" summit. The summit provided training for team-building, an opportunity for students to identify the problems in their own schools, and empowered the students attending to accept some control to self-monitor. GBMS team members presented to the student body a program explaining the district's expectations of acceptable behavior. The groups are planning regular assemblies, posters for the hall and other activities to model responsible behaviors throughout the year.

Measures to prevent teen suicide A note on... self injury Teenage suicide and self-injury: How can a greater peer sensitivity help prevent a quick-growing trend? By Emily Nichols American teenagers have had everyone from teachers to parents to counselors to the media bombard them with facts about the third leading killer for kids their age and the second leading killer for college students. They’ve been told how to predict suicide and get a suicidal person help. Unfortunately for many teens the facts about suicide haven't sunk in. For every homicide in this country there are three suicides. The media informs America about many teen homicides, but very few suicides make the news, no matter what the circumstances are of the death. Students are getting suicide prevention training in their health and guidance classes, but they are still occurring at alarming rates.

STAFF ACCESS State Support for School Counseling Programs Mariane Gfroerer, Guidance and Counseling Consultant William Ewert, Assistant to the Commissioner NH State Department of Education Did you know that New Hampshire has State Rules that support Guidance Counselors and provide direction for Guidance Programs? Developing School Rules for Public Education is a long and arduous process that involves input from experts at the State Department of Education, opportunities for public review and comment, and ultimately, approval by the State Board of Education and review by the Joint Administrative Rules Committee of the Legislature. New Hampshire’s School Rules have the force of law, and are used for school approval. Many Guidance Directors and Administrators consult the School Rules as a guide when making tough decisions. Local administrators and school boards are acquainted with these Rules, and also refer to them in decision-making. While the School Rules specific to Guidance Counseling are relatively few, they cover very important issues that have an impact on your school’s Guidance Program. These include Guidance Counselor caseload maximums, the scope and priorities of a Guidance Program Plan, and Professional Development. New Hampshire School Rules also cover the scope and content of Career Education. While this Rule is not the exclusive responsibility of the Guidance Program in a school (it states clearly that Career Education is a whole-curriculum responsibility), the Career Guidance component of a Guidance Program is strongly supported by this Rule.

Tuesday, September 30, 2003 E-mail us Home Tuesday, September 30, 2003 Suicide among young on the rise: professor Published: September 30, 2003 Source: Taipei Times professor of clinical psychology at National Taiwan University announced on Monday that Taiwan's suicide rate was on the rise, especially for people between the ages of 20 and 34. According to the Department of Health's records, in Taiwan, successful suicide attempts committed by people between the ages of 20 and 34 has risen from 22 suicides per hundred thousand in 1994 to 37 last year. It has long been understood that students entering the eighth grade are especially likely to develop suicidal tendencies, Wu said, adding that that his research shows that students entering the fifth grade have also become a high-risk group. He attributed the recent increase of suicide attempts in younger students to early maturation and ideas presented by the media that cause confusion. Wu commented that an increase in suicide rates is a worldwide phenomenon. He cited globalization trends, population pressure and the decrease of the family's function in society as possible reasons for the global increase in suicide. "As quickly as the world is changing, Taiwan's pace may be even faster than other nations," Wu said.

Credit Card Guidance CREDIT CARD COMPANIES AIM MARKETING AT YOUNG CUSTOMERS By Carol Frey, Long before Alan Broughton got his high school diploma, he got a Capital One Visa card.Like many of his classmates at Raleigh's Sanderson High School, Broughton had received two or three credit-card offers before his 18th birthday last October. "Since I turned 18, I get them all the time," he said. Parents, consumer advocates and now some members of Congress are expressing alarm at what they see as a take-no-prisoners marketing of credit cards to younger and younger teens. One prime example is Capital One of Falls Church, Va., among the largest credit-card companies in the world. Capital One began a full-scale sales effort aimed at students 16 to 18 last summer. And in April, a survey of 2,044 students nationally found that 12 percent of those 12 to 19 have and use credit cards in their own names. For teenagers who see gold in that plastic, credit-card debt can become a lead weight that scares away future employers and lenders.

Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Thompson, Rosemary Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Counseling and Personnel Services Ann Arbor MI. Suicide and Sudden Loss: Crisis Management in the Schools. Highlights: An ERIC/CAPS Digest. Hawton (1986) and Perrone (1987) found that peers of adolescents who attempted suicide are vulnerable because suicide is higher: - among persons with unstable social relationships; - when a population is self-contained (as in school-as-community and school-as-institution); - when imitative behavior is common; - when the element of bravado exists; and - when the act is sure to be noticed. Balk (1983) further identified acute emotional responses of students after the death of a peer. He revealed that while peer support and chances to talk with friends about the death at such a time of loss were important aids in coping with death, many peers feel uncomfortable talking about death. They frequently avoid the survivors to decrease their discomfort of not knowing what to say or how to say it. Balk maintained that young people sometimes hide their feelings of grief because such feelings often are not considered acceptable in public, and as a result, adolescents are often confused about the source of their recurring grief reactions.

Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Gerler, Edwin R., Jr. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Counseling and Personnel Services Ann Arbor MI. The Challenge of Counseling in Middle Schools. ERIC Digest. This digest deals with how counselors in middle schools can help youngsters face the various challenges of early adolescence. Counselors are called upon to plan programs that make middle schools inviting places for young people to learn and grow. There are major differences between middle schools and high schools, differences that cause some students to get lost emotionally and to fail academically. Middle school counseling programs need to focus on preparing youngsters for the increased independence of life in high school that is typically accompanied by more social pressures and by increased stress. THE CHALLENGE OF UNDERSTANDING SELF Early adolescence is difficult for most youngsters, a time for challenging one's self and the ideas brought from childhood. It is the beginning of physical, emotional, social, and intellectual growth which brings excitement, delight, anxiety, and misunderstanding. The child, who in elementary school was obedient and academically motivated, may seem disrespectful and lazy in middle school. Early adolescence begins the transition from acceptance of adult direction to challenging authority and moving toward self direction. The goal of middle school counselors is to provide a blend of challenge and support that will promote identity development in early adolescence.
