From 2009 to 2019, the share of high school students who reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness increased by 40% to more than 1 in 3 students, according to a public health advisory issued by the US Surgeon General.
Hazelden Lifelines Trilogy is designed to help schools integrate trauma-informed policies, protocols, training and curriculum that address both suicide prevention and the enhancement of students' coping skills.
I've purchased Hazelden Lifelines®. Why should I invest in specific training?
During this multimodal interactive training, the author of Hazelden Lifelines® will provide comprehensive reviews of all three Lifelines components (Prevention, Intervention and Postvention). They will also assist schools in addressing some of the opportunities and challenges inherent in the process of suicide prevention and response, providing examples and insights from their own successful implementation of the Lifelines® Trilogy nationwide.
Designed to support your school's prevention and education goals and backed by 20 years of research, this program empowers communities to:
- Update policies and procedures that are safe, trauma-informed and match the culture and climate of their community.
- Educate faculty, staff, students and community members to understand their roles in the prevention process.
- Recognize that some students may be thinking about suicide and learn skills to have a conversation about their risk and have the tools to take the necessary next steps.
- Prepare schools to respond to a traumatic loss event with a structured and supportive model that enhances the school's ability to manage and contain the impact.
I haven't purchased Hazelden Lifelines®. What is it?
The Hazelden Lifelines® Trilogy is a unique collection of programs for middle and high school students that address the important topic of teen suicide: from prevention to intervention to response.

- Lifelines Intervention: (K-12) Helps school staff understand suicide risk and support students who are at risk for suicide
- Lifelines Postvention: (K-12) Provides school staff the tools to respond to suicide and traumatic deaths in the school community
