Abstract
It is a school's responsibility to engage in suicide prevention given that suicide is the second leading cause of death for 10-24 year-olds (1) and school is where they spend most of their day. Suicide prevention will be most effective when implemented within the public health model in schools (2-5), or what literature within education refers to as Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). In addition, schools should be prepared to implement postintervention, which involves promoting healing and preventing further trauma and suicide after a suicide. This chapter will discuss implementing suicide prevention within MTSS and postintervention in schools.
