Dear Parents or Guardian:
Unioto Middle School, in collaboration with Nationwide Children's Hospital, is providing a training for the 6th grade called Signs of Su***de. The Sign of Su***de Prevention Program (SOS) is a school-based su***de prevention program supported by SAMHSA. The goal of the curriculum is to prevent and reduce suicidal behavior by expanding the safety net for students experiencing mental and emotional distress. The training uses a video to help guide classroom discussions.
Students are trained to recognize warning signs of su***de in a friend as well as an appropriate response. Additionally, students are provided the opportunity to speak to a school counselor if they are concerned about their own emotional well-being. Screening to assess for depression and su***de risk is also part of the curriculum. In cooperation with parents, students may be referred for professional help as needed.
SOS is a nationally-known su***de prevention program that parents and schools have found to be a very positive experience. It reduces the stigma of depression and lets students and adults know that they are capable of helping students in need of support. There is clear evidence that using a prevention program like SOS lowers the risk of a child making a su***de attempt and does not put the idea in a child's mind. However, we always respect parents' rights to choose what is best for their child.
If you do NOT wish for your child to participate in the SOS Prevention Program, please complete the form that was sent home with your student and return it to Mrs. Bryant by Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
If we do not hear from you , we will assume your child has permission to participate in this program.
