Responding to Suicide Risk: Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention in Schools

September 9, 2026 @ 1:00-2:00PM UTC

This webinar introduces ISCA's newly created Suicide Awareness & Prevention Toolkit (SAPT), a best practice-informed pilot resource designed specifically for international schools. Led by the SAPT creators this session provides practical guidance across suicide awareness and prevention, intervention, and postvention. Participants will explore school ready tools and real-world applications to strengthen policies, respond effectively to risk, and support school communities before, during, and after a crisis. These tools are designed for counselors, leaders and school mental health professionals emphasizing action, consistency, and cultural responsiveness


Speakers:

Chrystal Kelly is an international school counselor with over 20+ years counseling, teaching, mentoring and coaching that has been shaped by a strong passion for crisis planning and suicide awareness and prevention. After experiencing firsthand how suicide affects families and friends and then starting her counseling career in Colorado, USA–where suicide and violence has affected schools and communities at a concerningly high rate.




Lina Paumgarten is an international school counselor, consultant, and TCK with over 25+ years of experience supporting global communities. Her passion for suicide prevention is deeply personal—shaped by the loss of both her grandmother and aunt to suicide, and later by the death of a student, which propelled her into developing comprehensive prevention and intervention approaches for international schools.
