Abstract
School counselors at all grade levels are faced with student suicidal ideation on a regular basis. As the primary mental health providers at their sites, school counselors are the ideal professionals to provide suicide awareness training for school staff and students. School counselors were surveyed regarding the type of suicide awareness training they provided to staff and students and their reasons for not providing training, if that was the case. Results from this exploratory survey suggested that few school counselors provide suicide awareness training to staff or students. Implications for school counselors and administrators are included.
