Suicide is a tragedy for the individual who chooses it and for those left behind. Its effects can be devastating for survivors—the family, school, place of worship, workplace, and extended community. Research tells us we can’t prevent every suicide, but there is a lot we can do to reduce the risk of suicide, to identify and intervene with those who are vulnerable, and to provide ongoing supports.

MindChangers and the Jackson Suicide Prevention Coalition have teamed up to develop a digital toolkit, which offers concrete and hands-on tools to pro-actively help prevent suicide, to intervene with a person at risk of suicide, and to respond to a completed suicide. Included in the toolkit are educational materials for professionals, for the general public to promote public awareness, tools for risk assessment and protocols for intervention, documents/handouts/posters to increase awareness of suicide risk, and additional resources for becoming educated about suicide prevention.

If you and/or your organization is interested in obtaining a toolkit, please complete the following Toolkit Request Form and return to:
 
MindChangers
Attn: Heather Bridgewater
1200 North West Avenue
Jackson, MI 49202

Toolkit materials are available on a preloaded 256MB flash drive. There are a limited number available. Preference will be given to those individuals and organizations that 1) demonstrate limited access to existing resources, such as prevention coalitions in their start-up phase and/or schools with minimal access to subject material, 2) express a willingness to collaborate and share the toolkit contents with related parties, and/or 3) are willing to share results and local impact of toolkit implementation with MindChangers and its partners.

Please note: toolkit materials are also available for instant download: click here to download the .zip file or browse the table of contents below for individual files. Staff of LifeWays, Jackson Public Schools and Jackson Intermediate School District are able to download materials on their respective servers. Contact your Information Technology Administrator for details.
