I'm very excited to share that the second edition of 'Suicide in Schools: A Practitioner's Guide to Multilevel Prevention, Assessment, Intervention, and Postvention' will start shipping on December 1, 2023.

We've updated our best-selling text to include insights from the COVID-19 pandemic, review of the most recent CDC data on youth suicide risk, a new chapter on technology, recommendations for selfcare during all phases of suicide prevention, summaries of current legal cases, and updated recommendations for culturally relevant risk assessment and monitoring. The beloved and essential resources from the first edition are organized in the second edition as the "Suicide in Schools (SiS) Model."

Pre-orders starting end of November for $10 off.
