Title: School Counselors and Student Suicide

Description: Suicide deaths are the second leading cause of death among youth ages 10-14 and the eighth leading cause of death among elementary children ages 5-11 (Haugen et al., 2023). Considering the prevalence of suicide, it is not uncommon for school counselors to encounter a student death by suicide at some point in their work. However, Haugen et al. stated to date, there are only three studies that exclusively examined school counselors’ experiences with a student death by suicide. Counselors who register for this Continuing Professional Development will have access to findings that provide a novel contribution to the school counseling literature as the first qualitative study to offer an in-depth examination of U.S. school counselors’ experiences after student death by suicide (Haugen et al., 2023).
