TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Evaluation of a youth suicide prevention school program JO - Adolescence A1 - Nelson, F. L. SP - 813 EP - 825 VL - 22 IS - 88 N2 - Adolescent suicide is a subject of increasing national concern. In California, this problem was addressed through the implementation of a three-year youth suicide prevention school program established by legislative mandate in 1983. Findings for the first two years of the program indicate significant gains in understanding of youth suicide prevention techniques for those high school students who completed a four-hour training course. School staff and parents completing 90-minute youth suicide awareness seminars indicated that they most appreciated receiving practical advice and resources they could use in responding to a potentially suicidal young person.
