[YSPNetwork] Oregon Program Is Now A Best Practice

[jill.hollingsworth at lookingglass.us]

Hi YSP'ers,

I am excited to announce that RESPONSE, a comprehensive high school based
youth suicide awareness program developed by Looking Glass Youth and
Family Services, was just designated as a best practice and is now listed
in the Suicide Prevention Resource Center and American Foundation for
Suicide Prevention's Best Practice Registry. In order to be listed as a
best practice, the program is reviewed by a panel of experts in the field
of suicide prevention who determine whether the program adheres to
standards in the field.

If you are an administrator in a position to work with Looking Glass to
implement this program on a district-wide level, please contact me. I'm
submitting a grant proposal for FTE for district coordinators. This
opportunity would allow me to work directly with the coordinator to
oversee implementation of the program.
