Suicide Prevention
September is Suicide Prevention month. Part of my job is to make sure your scholars are safe. I do this by educating students and providing resources for families.
Suicide is defined as death caused by self-directed injurious behavior with any intent to die as a result of the behavior. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people between 10 to 24.
Did you know- Scholars have several Hotline numbers on the back of their student ID (see picture)
