Online Suicide Prevention and Intervention Training for Secondary School Counselors

The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Online Suicide Prevention and Intervention Training Program (Çevrimiçi İntihar Önleme ve Müdahale Eğitim Programı - ÇİÖMEP) for school counselors working in secondary education. Suicide is a major public health concern among adolescents, and school counselors play a vital role in early identification and intervention. This research uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to determine if the training improves counselors\' knowledge, perceived competence, and attitudes toward suicide prevention while reducing the stigma associated with suicidal behavior.
