Third Quarter Meeting 2024

Student Suicide Prevention Using Technology

From 2014 – 2024, bhworks student mental health software has been in use by the Student Assistance Program (SAP) agencies in Pennsylvania. The goal has been to establish and implement policies and procedures that support statewide youth suicide prevention efforts. Pennsylvania funded this project with two, 5-year Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) grants from the federal government.

During this meeting, we will summarize the progress in the PA program along with technology growth. With the latest GLS grant awardees announced – New York and Nevada partnered with bhworks to receive funding this round – we will also discuss where we are headed with software in identifying and preventing students from harming themselves and/or others.
