As part of the agreement, a pilot educational program will also be implemented in at least one selected educational institution in Łomża. The program is intended to increase the knowledge of students, teachers, parents and legal guardians about mental health and build a culture of support and empathy in the school environment.

It is aimed at raising awareness of the issue of suicide among children and adolescents, as well as developing competence in early recognition of mental health crisis warning signs and shaping pro-health attitudes.

Cooperation will also encompass promoting the accessibility of higher education for people with disabilities, as well as joint educational, scientific and research and development projects.

SGMK and the City of Łomża experts will work together on the development of educational plans adapted to the requirements of modern local government administration.

“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.
