This book was released on 2009 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student suicide is a very real issue in Wisconsin and throughout the nation. A recent study indicated that approximately 7% of the total suicides in Wisconsin were of those between the ages of 10-19, earmarking Wisconsin as having the eighth highest rate of youth suicide in the nation. This research paper documented current Wisconsin school counselors' implementation and comprehension of prevention, intervention, and postvention when handling a student suicide. The lack of knowledge school counselors may have on suicide could hinder their ability to meet the needs of their students. The research analyzed the current knowledge of Wisconsin school counselors on suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention and found that: 1. Have counselors received any education or training on suicide prevention and/or intervention? 2. Do schools have a crisis intervention team? 3. Do schools address suicide prevention in their curriculum? 4. Do counselors feel they need additional education on suicide prevention, intervention, or postvention? Overall, this research found that Wisconsin school counselors are proficient and prepared to implement prevention, intervention, and postvention procedures following a student suicide.

Download or read book How School Counselors Cope with Student Suicide written by Sara X. Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing that school counselors will likely encounter the tragedy of youth suicide, many counselor educator programs focus on identification of suicidal ideation and prevention, but the field of school counseling remains largely under-equipped regarding how to cope with the aftermath of student suicide. In an effort to expand the qualitative research within the profession on how best to educate, support, and implement suicide postvention strategies, there remained a need to explore the experience of the school counselor in the aftermath of such tragedy. This study addressed how school counselors who were trained in CACREP-accredited programs experience the response to student suicide. Eight practicing school counselors who experienced the loss of a student to suicide were interviewed using a revised version of Seidman’s three-part model. Each participant took part in two individual 45-90 minutes long interviews at least a week apart. The qualitative study was guided by three questions: What is the school counselor’s experience of student suicide? What ways did the school counselor cope with the experience of student suicide? And lastly, what effect did suicide have the life of the school counselor, both professionally and personally? Data analysis was conducted utilizing Giorgi’s (2009) Descriptive Phenomenological Method. Six essential themes were described by participants forming the structural description of their experience of student suicide: (1) Historical Context: Early Experiences with Trauma and/or Loss, (2) Personal History with Counseling, (3) Training in Graduate Program, (4) Response of School/District, (5) Coping Reactions and Related Predictors, and (6) Shift in Perspective on Trauma and/or Loss. A potentially predictive model detailing factors that contributed to higher levels of adaptive coping in school counselors post tragedy is presented and discussed.
