Suicide Prevention

Hands holding people up

From the CDC: "Preventing suicide requires strategies at all levels of society. This includes prevention and protective strategies for individuals, families, and communities. Everyone can help prevent suicide by learning the warning signs, promoting prevention and resilience, and committing to social change." 

Below are important resources for families and our community, to help in our efforts to support our students and their mental health.
