Research-Informed Adaptable Model for the Prevention of Suicide in Schools (RAMPSS)

Abstract

With increased suicide rates among youth during recent decades, the K–12 educational community still lacks a comprehensive model for suicide prevention that is tailorable for school systems. With this article, we present the Research-Informed Adaptable Model for the Prevention of Suicide in Schools (RAMPSS). A multitiered system of support, RAMPSS includes (a) all four major components of the American School Counselor Association National Model and (b) options for research-based responsive services at each tier level.
