In addition, guidelines are included on how to respond to these crises in a practical and proactive manner that minimizes risk and/or impact on the school community. The authors, nationally renowned experts on suicide, self-injury, and violence among children and adolescents, present: Critical information on suicide and suicidal behaviors specific to children and adolescents Pertinent issues related to nonsuicidal self-injury behaviors Guidance on conducting effective face-to-face clinical interviews with violent and potentially violent students and their families Important prevention and screening topics for middle and high school counselors Discussion on psychological first aid in response to school violence survivors and their parents Filled with mini-case vignettes, as well as checklists for school personnel to use, this timely reference supports school professionals in devising the very best prevention, intervention, and post?crisis strategies. It is a much-needed resource for establishing a collaborative, nonsuicidal, nonviolent environment both within and outside the school setting.
