This statistic underscores the impact suicide can have on our schools. It can shatter a school community and leave students and staff feeling helpless, angry, and confused.

It is actually very much administrator focused. This book even has how to handle suicide in a virtual environment. Very relevant and fresh!</p><p><b>Melanie Acker</b><i> <br>LPC</i></p><br><br><p>This book is SO great! 15 minutes is a manageable amount of time with my crazy busy schedule and it also comes with the ability to download resources that are actually usable! The research and knowledge put into this book are top notch and it is very easy to read and apply to my current position as a school counseling department chair. There are not many books that after reading I feel like I can plan and take necessary steps to improve my office's counseling program but this is one! Even at the most simple level, the language suggested and small starting step strategies are to be put into place y any school counselor. I also love that there is a discussion of what is being done at the district level because if there are not suicide prevention strategies in place, a counselor can advocate to get programs implemented to best support their students. GREAT book! Thank you for creating this for school counselors everywhere!</p><p><b>Counselor DaSilva</b><i> <br>School Counseling Department Chair</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Dr. Melisa Marsh currently serves as the Supervisor of School Counseling for the Cobb County school district in Marietta, GA., where she coordinates the development and supervision of school counseling, student advisement, crisis response, and Hospital Homebound programs.
