From Reaction to Readiness: Suicide Postvention Best Practices for Michigan Schools

Join us for a 90-minute school postvention webinar featuring Alex Karydi, PhD, Director of State and Territorial Initiatives with the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. Dr. Karydi will provide a grounded overview of foundational school postvention best practices, helping participants strengthen their understanding of effective post suicide response in educational settings.

Building on this foundation, a panel of Michigan school professionals will share real-world perspectives on implementing crisis response protocols, communicating safely after a loss, collaborating with community partners, and navigating lessons learned through lived experience.

The session will conclude with an interactive live case example, allowing participants to work through a scenario together and apply the concepts discussed. This webinar is designed to support a proactive response for school postvention with clarity, coordination, and compassion.
