I think you are getting off to great start by interviewing the psych teacher and social worker. However, I don’t think it would be appropriate to speak to students who are thinking of suicide. Those students would probably be very difficult to find and legal issues could be compromised. Instead, speak to students who maybe have known people who’ve committed suicide, either a family member or friend.

-Good luck
