Our Suicide Prevention Initiative WILL HELP YOU RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT HAPPENS.
No one really likes to talk about Suicide or Bullying, but it is very necessary to address them so that more of us can learn how to handle them when they come our way. It may be a student, friend, child, relative, parent or spouse suffering. So many things can trigger suicidal thoughts and we may even see the “red flags”, but we need to know the best way to handle them BEFORE they happen. Prevention is of utmost importance and the worst thing is when it becomes trendy, or students in schools see it as an acceptable way out of problems and issues that everyone has at some time in our lives.
One of the leading causes of suicide among youth is bullying and cyber-bullying. Our “Red Flags Initiative” along with our S.T.O.P. Suicide assemblies are helping across the board to alert people with issues BEFORE they attempt suicide or resort to bullying.
If you or someone you know is having a hard time emotionally, you are not alone. Confidential help is available for free.
