September is ***dePreventionMonth. Mental health matters for every single member of our school community, and no student or family has to navigate tough times alone.
According to the CDC, roughly 1 in 5 high school students report seriously considering su***de, and su***de remains the 2nd leading cause of death among youth ages 10-24. The encouraging news? Connection and open conversation make a massive difference.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available 24/7.
Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
Text HOME to 741741 to connect with the Crisis Text Line.
Reach out directly to your school counselor or social worker anytime.
Letโs check in on one another, listen without judgment, and remind our kids that asking for help is a sign of strength.
