Both run entirely in your browser. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent. One finds you a starting point in the directory below; the other profiles a school’s prevention work across five domains.
Three questions. You get the four tools from the directory below that fit your setting and stage, and the one page on this site to read next.
Your starting point
Nothing you entered left your browser. Every tool listed was checked and is live; none of it is ours.
Twelve questions across the five CFIR domains, drawn from our own interviews with ten high schools.
The programs themselves, and whether anyone can name them all.
We keep a current written list of every suicide prevention program running in this building.
Program selection and coordination
All staff have had gatekeeper training in the last two years.
Gatekeeper trainings
Students help deliver prevention messaging, not only receive it.
Peer programming
Whether the people involved can actually use what is offered.
Students believe they can tell an adult here about distress without it automatically triggering consequences.
Student mistrust
Students have both a place to go and taught strategies for regulating a hard moment.
Student self-regulation
Capacity, staffing, and families.
Staff have the capacity to take prevention work on without it being one more thing.
Staff burnout
We have a behavioral health provider on site or reliably available.
Onsite mental health providers
Families are engaged in prevention before a crisis, not only after one.
Strained family engagement
What the surrounding context allows.
Prevention work can be named publicly here without political blowback.
Mental health stigma
We partner with community organizations who reach families on the families’ own terms.
Community networking
Protocols and feedback loops.
We have a written protocol for risk screening and for a student returning after an attempt.
Screening and safe reentry
We collect student feedback and it changes what we do next.
Evaluation
Step 1 of 5
Your profile
Higher is stronger. Anything under 60% is flagged below with what the schools in our study did about it.
Nothing you entered left your browser. This tool stores nothing and sends nothing. It is a structured way to have a conversation with your team, not an assessment, and it has not been validated as a measure.
