Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among students in North America – and the numbers are increasing, unfortunately. Surprisingly, almost half of the students who try to commit suicide will make their first attempt in elementary or middle school. Other than parents or guardians, educators provide the primary adult interaction and influence for many young people, and therefore can play a pivotal role in identifying students who may need help.

ased on the popular AccuTrain seminar Critical Mental Health Challenges, this video program will help teachers, administrators, counselors and para-professionals feel better equipped to intervene with a student who may have lost hope. It uses a dramatized interaction to demonstrate how an educator might best handle the difficult, but critical, conversation with a troubled student.

Understanding Infection control practices for schools is critical for keeping staff and students safe. In this new program, you’ll learn about how common infections are spread, including the COVID-19 virus.  You’ll also understand routes of transmission – including contact, droplet and airborne transmission. You’ll also learn proper handwashing techniques, as well as following practical infection control practices outlined by the Centers for Disease Controls.

Can responsibility be taught? How can educators move from “making” students behave to helping students learn self-management?
