Connection matters.
Belonging matters.
Prevention matters.

Bullying does not directly cause su***de. Su***de is complex and cannot be attributed to a single experience or factor.

But bullying and peer victimization can contribute to distress and are important factors to address as we work to create safe, supportive environments for young people.

As Su***de Prevention Month comes to a close, let’s commit to building communities where every young person feels safe, supported, connected, and heard all year long.
