Good reference source. Having dealt directly with the effects of high school suicide on the school community, I join in recognizing the importance of reading and thinking about response before the tragedy occurs. Working with students, we strive to find interventions and expect that we have succeeded in derailing the thoughts which may rob youthful resilience and result in an act of suicide. When it does occur, it is always a heavy blow to all.

At 230 pages, this publication is simply too big to be useful. Suicide prevention is not that complicated. Everyone needs training, which takes an hour or two. Every school has existing mental health resources who should take responsibility for delivering the training. We need to learn how to make mental health ORDINARY, something within everyone's capacity. Suicide prevention should be matter-of-fact, like recognizing a broken arm or rash, the kind of knowledge that is readily available everywhere.
