Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. According to the CDC, suicide is among the leading causes of death for people ages 10-66 and is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10-14. Despite being a leading cause of death, suicide it is preventable. This month our school will draw attention to the problem of suicide and advocating for the prevention of this tragedy through the following activities (bolded dates are for staff and students):

September 10: staff/students wear purple and/or teal
September 14-18: SPAW activities during each lunch period
September 14-18: Wellness Week
September 16: 9^th grade Signs of Suicide lesson and counseling classroom lesson through ELA classes
September 17: 10^th grade Signs of Suicide refresher and classroom lesson through ELA classes
September 30– Oct. 2: 11^th grade Signs of Suicide refresher lesson during advisement (counselors will meet with the students and a schedule will be provided ahead of time)

We encourage our students and staff to participate in Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. The awareness generated this month has the potential to have an enormous impact in our school community, even the chance to save a life. Here at school, we have school counselors, a social worker and psychologist who are available to provide help and have provided additional resources below. Thank you for supporting this initiative.
