New Community of Practice! 🌿🌿🌿 Liberated School Suicide Postvention Study & Inquiry Series
🗓️October 9, 2024 • December 4, 2024 • February 5, 2025 • April 2, 2025
⏰10 :00 a.m. – 11:30 p.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. ET
✨ How might we guide ourselves and the field toward community-responsive and critically reflexive liberated school postvention policy development and practice implementation? ✨
In this iteration of our community of practice, we want to engage in shared meaning-making by holding space for lived experiences and reviewing research and articles from experts in the field. This series is designed to hold conversations and co-create resources for liberated school suicide postvention policy and practice.
We will use a “Socratic style” conversation to facilitate rich discussion, two of our sessions will be dialogue driven by lived experiences of school support staff navigating postvention from a liberated lens, and two sessions will center on a critical reflection around current research.

NEW RESOURCE! 🍊🍊🍊 Leading with Courage, Care, & Connection: A Reflection Guide for School Leaders Navigating Recovery & Renewal After Student Deaths by Suicide
Throughout 2021-2024, the School Crisis Recovery & Renewal project gathered educators, crisis responders, suicide prevention and postvention leaders, youth advocates, and other community leaders to explore how to hold space to honor students’ lives years after they die by suicide, how practices of commemoration and memorialization collaborate or collide with school postvention, and to name some of the challenges that arrive with creating space and place to honor students’ deaths by suicide equally and equitably.
✨✨✨Using a fruit tree as a meatphor, this guide is a “conversation capture” of dialogues and communities of practice and seeks to add clarity and context for future conversations in the field. It curates lived experiences and actions taken by people in your shoes – leaders through postvention, offering reflective questions to support anyone in the school community supporting young people after a death by suicide. ✨✨✨
