Suicide Prevention Initiative (SPI)
SPI is youth suicide prevention program that helps K-12 school staff connect elementary, middle, and high school students with mental health services. Getting involved in the program starts with training for teachers and staff to learn how to identify a student who may be in crisis. To learn about getting training at your school, contact Leigh A. Reposa at Lreposa@risas.org or 401-952-7260, program manager at Rhode Island Student Assistance Services (RISAS). Read the SPI Handbook for more information.
