Building a Suicide-Safe School Community is an interactive online training designed for faculty and staff at all levels within Nebraska schools. It introduces concepts that help educators and administrators understand what to do if a student is contemplating suicide, and how to ensure their school can appropriately respond to a suicide using postvention measures.

Module 1 consists of various learning activities, including videos, interactive handouts, scenarios, and quizzes. Module 2A, designed for school faculty and staff, focuses on postvention actions for school faculty and staff. Module 2B, designed for school administrators, counselors, psychologists, nurses, and social workers, focuses on postvention responses for school administrators and professional staff.
