The Maryland Action Plan to Prevent Suicide in Schools (MAPS) is a comprehensive reference guide developed in partnership with the Office of Suicide Prevention and experts Dr. Scott Poland and Dr. Donna Poland. MAPS aims to equip K-12 public and private school communities with the necessary tools for effective suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. MAPS provides evidence-based resources tailored for school administrators, mental health professionals, teachers, students, and caregivers.
Each section of the guide is designed to address the specific needs and roles of its target audiences, ensuring that all members of the school community are prepared to respond effectively to suicide-related crises. Questions? Technical assistance is available.
