To strengthen collaboration with schools to jointly prevent youth suicide, the Police Negotiation Cadre (PNC), together with the Psychological Services Group and the Hong Kong Jockey Club Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, held a sharing session on campus crisis management for over 200 primary and secondary school principals, teachers, school social workers and psychologists on June 15.
The latest trend of student suicide was analysed while means to identify the warning signs and ways to handle such cases were shared to facilitate teachers identifying vulnerable students so that timely intervention could be made and proper guidance offered. PNC officers also promoted the Practical Guideline for Crisis Management at Schools to the teachers, briefed them the role played by PNC and shared their experience with the teachers. It was hoped that the Force and schools would work hand-in-hand to comprehensively promote the mental health of teenagers and implement suicide prevention for students.
