“…Also due to COVID-19, 41% of U.S. adults avoided routine and urgent medical care (Czeisler et al, 2020), decreasing the chances for early detection of declining health (Powell, 2021), which may extend to suicide risk. Further, the pandemic has impacted mental health professionals, as growing demand for mental health services has exceeded capacity to help (Young, 2022).…”

uicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, claiming the lives of more than 45,000 individuals in 2020 at a rate of 14.2 per 100,000 individuals (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2021;Curtin et al., 2021;Hedegaard et al., 2021). Since 1999, suicide rates increased 35% (Hedegaard et al., 2021). For every reported suicide death there are 25 suicide attempts, and even more people have suicidal thoughts. It is estimated that 12 million adults had suicidal thoughts in the last reported year (CDC, 2021). Associated costs of suicide, which include medical expenses as well as lost work productivity, have been estimated at $70 billion nationally each year (CDC, 2021). In Pennsylvania (study state), the rate of suicide is even higher (14.1 per 100,000 residents), with estimated costs of $1.86 billion annually (CDC, 2021).

School learners and educators encounter several crises on a regular basis, which can lead to various maladaptive behaviours, leaving the individual feeling numb, overwhelmed, and hopeless with decreased energy levels. Therefore, it is vital for a team to be allocated in schools that are well prepared to intervene to create a safe and healthy school environment. This qualitative document analysis aimed to develop a model for crises containment management in South African schools by combining findings from two recently published research studies. The researchers focused on identifying themes and placing themes in logical order to ensure that the developed model is related to other models, transparent and easy to interpret, easily understandable, and adaptable to various school contexts. The findings of this qualitative document analysis concluded the following themes: threats to school safety; impact of crises; management of crises; and Covid-19 mitigation. Based on these themes, steps were developed for the proposed model for crises containment management in South African schools. These steps include: assessing the safety and the situation; stabilising the environment; reflecting on facts, needs and support structure; referring (if needed); and checking-in on self and the individual in need. It is imperative that South African school learners, educators, and support staff need to be trained to handle various crises, for they are the first responders in most cases.
