Implementation of an educational program on early recognition of suicide risk symptoms

The Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School is implementing the next stages of the project “Suicidology – analysis of the state of knowledge and educational campaign,” which aims to raise awareness about the early recognition of signs of suicide risk among children and adolescents.

As part of the project, our task is to:

develop an educational program for teachers, parents, and guardians, focusing on identifying early warning signs and supporting young people in crisis;
test the effectiveness of the program in selected educational institutions and social environments.

The photos show the implementation and testing of the educational program at the High School in Komornica on December 8, 2025. The classes were conducted using the developed educational materials, and their purpose was to test the practicality, effectiveness, and reception of the program in the school environment.

“Suicidology” project – a multi-phase educational and research campaign

Since 2024, Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School has been implementing the project “Suicidology – state of knowledge analysis and educational campaign” funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The project aims to raise awareness of the problem of suicide and prepare a wide-ranging educational campaign. The initiative involves research at various levels of society, including educational, professional and medical communities. The collected data will be used to create personalized prevention strategies aimed at supporting people in crisis, as well as preventing critical situations.

The project is funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. You can follow the progress of the work on the project’s dedicated website: www.sgmk.edu.pl/suicidology, where we publish updates on a regular basis. The site also includes an interactive map of workshops conducted under the project.
