California AB2003 mandates the development of an online training program for school staff and parents on pupil suicide prevention.

California AB2003 requires the Behavioral Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to create an online training program for school staff and parents. The program must be evidence-based, trauma-informed, and culturally and linguistically competent. It should also address the needs of high-risk groups and be able to track aggregate, statewide usage. Local educational agencies must report the number of pupils screened for suicide risk and the screening instruments used. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety.
