Newly approved suicide prevention trainings available
The Board of Education Standards has approved three new suicide prevention trainings to meet the requirement of SDCL 13-42-71 for educator certification. One clock hour of approved youth suicide awareness and prevention training is required for educators for initial and renewal certification.
Newly approved trainings:
- Talk Saves Lives: An Introduction to Suicide Prevention
- More Than Sad: Suicide Prevention for Teachers and Other School Personnel
- Child & Adult Advocacy Studies (CAASt) Training Series
More information on each training is provided on the Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention Training page under “Approved In-Person Group Training.” Any educator who received a 5-hour certificate of completion for attending the CAASt training in its entirety on Dec. 22, 2021, may use it as an approved suicide prevention training for educator certification. An “open-to-all” K-12 CAASt training is offered virtually on May 13 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. CT. Visit the CAASt K-12 Training Series page for more information and to register. For questions on CAASt trainings, contact Tracy Thomes.
