As we conclude the su***de-prevention part of our “Believe You Matter” initiative, we encourage families to keep the conversations simple and open:

“How are you feeling?”
“What do you need today?”
“I’m here for you.”

Some days feel like they’ll never end — the stress, the pressure, the “what ifs.” But remember: every moment, even the tough ones, are temporary.

If you’re struggling, reach out. You’re not alone, and things do change. 💛

Thank you to those parents/guardians and staff members who attended our school-based su***de prevention information nights in September and early October and to those who led the sessions.

More than 740 people heard this life-saving information and are now better informed and equipped to help youth who are navigating difficult situations.

This can be hard to hear, but many of our kids are hurting and have considered hurting themselves.

Meet Amy. We think she’s incredibly brave to share her story of hurt… and hope with you.

Today is National Depression Screening Day, a reminder that it’s ok to reach out for help.

We also want to share that staff have conducted 83 su***de screenings with students so far this school year. The ages where we’ve seen the most screenings — ages 12 and 13.

Now encouraging numbers: more than 500 parents/guardians attended our schools’ su***de prevention nights last month, and an additional 200 staff members have been trained in su***de prevention and response. That’s 700 more people who know how to support kids in crisis.
