Required Suicide Awareness and Prevention Training - Jason Foundation

Training is available for all Lincoln Public Schools employee groups required to take the annual suicide awareness/prevention training as required by the law passed by the Nebraska State Legislature in 2014. The deadline for completing the training is the end of the first quarter of the 2021-22 school year (Oct. 18, 2021). The training is provided by the Jason Foundation.

The link to access the training can be found here. You will need to register to create an account. When you are creating your password, use a combination of both lowercase letters and numbers with no special characters. As you create your account, be sure that all fields have been completed (if the item doesn't apply to you, put NA in the field). After you have registered, please choose the “one hour courses” option. Then choose the “Childhood and Teen Depression for Educators” course. Please note, fast forwarding or placing it as a tab in the background may prevent you from earning credit. 

Those required to take the training are: teachers, administrators, counselors, school psychologists, social workers, nurses, health technicians, treatment nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, sign language interpreters, service coordinators, SLPs, Bilingual Liaisons, Gifted Mentors, Youth Development Team members, Campus Security, Early Childhood Student Parent Advocates, and para educators including SEMs. Any employee who is not required to take the training, including substitutes, can still take it if they choose to do so.

At the end of the training, you will receive a confirmation of completion email. Please forward that message to whomever will be your principal/supervisor or to the individual designated in your location/department for the 2021-22 school year.

Thank you for your continued work and dedication toward making Lincoln Public Schools a safe and welcoming place for the students of our community.
