On the Scientific Validity of the Program of Work of a Psychologist with Teaching Staff and Teachers on the Prevention of Suicidal Risks in the Educational Organization “I Choose Life!”

The authors of the article pose the question: are modern teachers ready to participate in solving the problem of adolescent suicide, and come to the conclusion that, despite the large number of different diagnostic tools and literature, they are not ready to use them in practice. To solve this and other issues, the authors propose to carry out a system of measures related to increasing the competence of the teaching staff, developing their practical skills, motivational and psychological readiness to carry out work on the prevention of suicidal risks. This system formed the basis of the program of work of the educational psychologist with teaching staff and teachers “I choose life!” The implementation of the program contributes to the formation of a safe educational environment, the prevention of destructive behavior, suicidal and other risks. It was tested on the basis of the state autonomous institution of additional professional education “Saratov Regional Institute for Educational Development” as part of the implementation of an additional professional development program “Strategies for the work of an educational organization with the problem of suicidal behavior of minors” for class teachers, educational psychologists and heads of educational organizations. The program “I choose life!” passed an examination to verify the evidence base within the section “Evidence-Based Approach in Psychology and Education” of the Scientific Expert Council of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education MSUPE with the assignment of a certificate of conformity (registration number “7/17-pr” dated July 25, 2023). Based on the results of the examination, it was found to comply with the standards of programs and technologies with proven effectiveness for the educational and social spheres, taking into account additional recommendations, and was recommended for inclusion in the register of exemplary correctional and developmental, correctional, rehabilitation and preventive programs for the activities of a teacher-psychologist (psychologist in the field of education ) and replication in educational and social institutions.
