Rates of youth suicide and suicidal behavior remain high despite prevention efforts. Training high school personnel as gatekeepers is an important strategy.
Training was implemented in a school district's five comprehensive high schools. Surveys were conducted before and after training sessions, which targeted all adults working at the high school. Two hundred thirty-seven individuals completed the pretest and/or posttest.
Participants reported gains in knowledge, confidence, and feelings of competence in recognizing, approaching, and connecting distressed youth to school-based resources. Training was well received.
Training is acceptable and appropriate for school personnel. Increasing the number of school personnel who participate in the training is challenging.
尽管开展了预防工作,但青少年自杀率和自杀行为发生率仍然很高。将高中工作人员培训为守门人是一项重要策略。
在一个学区的五所综合性高中开展了培训。在培训课程前后进行了调查,对象是在高中工作的所有成年人。237人完成了预测试和/或后测试。
参与者报告称,在识别、接近处于困境的青少年并将其与校内资源联系起来方面,他们在知识、信心和能力感方面都有收获。培训受到好评。
培训对学校工作人员来说是可以接受且合适的。增加参与培训的学校工作人员数量具有挑战性。
