As part of the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School’s project “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign”, representatives of SGMK met with the Starost of Drawsko-Pomorskie District to discuss opportunities for cooperation in the implementation of Phase II of the project.
The participants discussed joint actions that should be taken by local authorities, schools and mental health professionals to prevent suicidal behavior among children and adolescents.
One of the main topics of the meeting was the special role of teachers and educators as first responders who can notice alarming signals in students, the possibilities of including the teacher community in the Suicidology project, as well as support for schools – including the organization of training courses on suicidology, crisis intervention and building mental resilience.
“Suicidology” project – a multi-phase educational and research campaign
Since 2024, Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School in Warsaw has been implementing the project “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign” funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
The project aims to raise awareness of the problem of suicide and prepare a wide-ranging educational campaign. The initiative involves research at various levels of society, including educational, professional and medical communities. The collected data will be used to create personalized prevention strategies aimed at supporting people in crisis, as well as preventing critical situations.
The project is funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. You can follow the progress of the work on the project’s dedicated website: www.sgmk.edu.pl/suicidology, where we publish updates on a regular basis.
