Suicide Prevention

Montana Suicide Awareness & Prevention Training Act

 

Description:  The Montana Suicide Awareness and Prevention Training Act was passed by the Montana Legislature in 2015.  The Act directs the Montana Office of Public Instruction to provide training and technical assistance to schools in Montana about youth suicide awareness and prevention training.  House Bill 381 Training Guidance Document was designed to help your school community decide what kind of training fits with your current needs.

If you or someone you know are in crisis, 

please call the Montana Suicide Prevention Lifeline 24/7 1-800-273-Talk (1-800-273-8255).
