The mandate states that AHCCCS will select and post evidence-based, best practice suicide prevention training materials on their websites. Therefore, schools can select a program from this list as they move to meet state requirements. In addition, all school staff who interact with students in grades 6 through 12 must receive suicide prevention training at least once every three years.
The law, known as the Mitch Warnock Act, was named after a Tempe Arizona teenager who died by suicide. Learn More Here
