There's Always Help: Suicide Prevention
Grades 9-12

At some point everyone goes through very stressful and anxious situations. Those experiences can be very hard to cope with and lead to feelings of extreme sadness, anger and depression. Sometimes teens may feel like their situations are hopeless and think that one way to get relief from the bad feelings is to escape through suicide. What this program will discuss: the warning signs of suicide, what students can do to help prevent it, and how to cope with suicide.

At the end of this program, students will learn the following:
• People who are contemplating suicide often telegraph warning signs: they talk about dying; change their habits; or give away favorite possessions.
• Friends and family should take the warning sides of suicide seriously.
• Talk to a trusted adult if someone is under severe emotional stress and talks about suicide.
• Don't blame yourself if someone commits suicide.
• Seek professional help to deal with feelings of loss and guilt.
