Study Description: This study aims to explore the possible relationships between student death by suicide, level of perceived work meaningfulness, and burnout among school psychologists. Participants in this study will be asked a series of demographic questions, as well as questions regarding perceived meaningfulness of work and level of burnout symptoms.

After the above items are completed, participants will be asked more questions about their personal experience with student suicide. The exact questions will differ depending on if they have experienced it or not. If so, the questions will pertain to how long ago they experienced it, if they ever had direct contact with the student, and how they attribute it. If they have not experienced this, the questions will pertain to their thoughts surrounding the possibility of a student dying by suicide. All data collected will be anonymous, and participation will take about 10-15 minutes.
