The project “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign” implemented by the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School in Warsaw has gained a chance to expand its reach thanks to cooperation with the Małopolska Voivodeship. On January 9, 2025, a meeting was held at the Marshal’s Office of the Małopolska Region to discuss the implementation of the educational program in schools under the Department of Education.
The discussions were attended by Dr. Robert Czerniak and Sylwia Majewska, representing the “Suicidology” project, as well as representatives of the Department of Education. The discussion focused on plans to develop an educational program aimed at early recognition of suicide risk in children and adolescents. The cooperation includes the organization of workshops aimed at teachers, parents and caregivers. The workshops will aim to raise awareness and practical skills in identifying suicide risk factors.
Thanks to the cooperation with Malopolska, the program will have the opportunity to reach a much larger audience, supporting prevention efforts at the local and regional level. This will be achieved by involving schools, parents and other educational institutions in the region.
“Suicidology” project – a multi-phase educational and research campaign
The project “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign,” implemented by the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School in Warsaw, 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. 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.
