Required Suicide Prevention Training

The USBE requires an LEA approved two-hour suicide prevention training for active educators. (Utah Code 53 A-1-603 #10) Teachers with a Level 1 License are required to complete training as part of the requirements to upgrade from a Level 1 to a Level 2 Teaching License. ALL EDUCATORS renewing their Level 2 or Level 3 License are required to complete a two-hour suicide prevention training as well. One LEA approved two-hour suicide prevention class must be completed each license cycle.

Provo City School District’s Suicide Prevention Class provides training and understanding of the nature of youth suicide; risk and protective factors; warning signs and clues; and appropriate intervention steps. Successful completion of this training will fulfill the USOE requirement Utah Code 53 A-1-603 #10.
