Suicide Prevention, Intervention and Postvention Training Available

New Module Now Available: Suicide Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention

As of yesterday, the Training System features a new module on suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention.  This module meets the requirement set forth in Senate File 2113, requiring all districts to provide a one-hour training in this area to faculty starting July 1 of 2019.  More specifically, the code states: By July 1, 2019, the board of directors of a school district shall require annual, evidence-based training at least one hour in length on suicide prevention and postvention for all school personnel who hold a license, certificate, authorization, or statement of recognition issued by the board of educational examiners and who have regular contact with students in kindergarten through grade twelve. Participants can find the training by searching the catalog for any of the terms in the title: While the training is live, more formal information about the training provided by the statewide team--who developed the training--will be forthcoming in November.  A big thank you to the work that group did in preparing a high-quality training well before the code-mandated deadline. Reminder: District Pages This is another great opportunity to mention our district page feature, since that is an item on the new Suicide Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention training.  Within our system, you can customize any statewide training with your own district-specific information.  You will specifically want to do so for this training. To do so, the person doing the customization must have Developer access, and thus see the DEV tab at the top, next to the ADMIN tab.  Please contact us at support@aealearningonline.org if you need to have that access added to your account. With this access, you will search for the course you are customizing and click the District Page button.  On the next page, you will select the district page you want to edit (there currently is only page 35 in the training).  You will then have a chance to edit that page.  Whatever you put in there, all employees of your district--and your district only--will see that content instead of the generic disclaimer that normally appears on page 35.  And much like Bloodborne Pathogens, you can either type in directly or link out to an external document the information that is specific to your district, including any contact people for the district. But, what if you want to add information in a different location in the training, and there isn't a district page there?  No problem.  Just contact us at our support email and we can add that district page wherever you would like.
