The problem is because teachers and counselors often do not have adequate youth suicide prevention training, this lack of training often results in the high numbers of needless youth suicides each year. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to understand how counselors and teachers perceive the adequacy of their training to prevent youth suicide. The population consisted of 32 high school teachers and 5 counselors, with at least one year experience. Data were collected from two sources, questionnaires with open ended questions and one-on-one interviews that included open-ended and short answer questions. Data for this study was analyzed with the help of a Computer Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software, or (CAQDAS), NVivo. Using a software to help aid in the analysis of collected data can support qualitative researchers in their efforts to present their analysis and findings in a transparent way, thus enhancing trustworthiness. Four major themes surrounding counselors and teachers' knowledge, perception, and awareness of suicide among youth, emerged from the data collection: 1. Inadequate suicide prevention training: Limited to online modules, 2. Mixed perceptions and beliefs regarding suicide, 3.Comfort level of approaching students regarding suicide, and 4. Recommendations for future leaders and practitioners may include researching more literature regarding online suicide prevention training programs in school, that demonstrate an increase in knowledge and awareness of suicide among youth.
