Talking about suicide does not plant the idea in someone's head. Honest and direct
dialogue can open communication and relieve stress for those suffering in silence.
- Know the warning signs and risk factors of suicide.
- Ask, "Do you ever feel so bad you have thoughts of suicide or self-harm?"
- Emphasize the importance of speaking up and seeking help.
- Have your kids think of three trusted adults they can go to for support. This is the number one protective factor for youth.
For more resources on how to talk to your children about suicide and mental
wellness, visit EncourageHopeandHelp.com.
Join TriCounty Mental Health Services on November 10th, 2020 from 6-7p for a Zoom Parent Night using this SignUp.

Do you know a Park Hill Star?
The Park Hill Star recognition program was started in 2015 to celebrate support staff and teachers whose work is especially noteworthy.
The following is an overview of the Park Hill Star Program:
Our employees are the reason we are so successful here in the Park Hill School District, and we would like to recognize them for all they do for our students. That is why we present the Park Hill Star award once a month to a pre-K or elementary teacher, a secondary teacher and a support employee.
Southeast Communication
You will find several ways to stay up to date on school activities on the Southeast website , Facebook, and newsletters from your child’s teacher. You will also occasionally get an automated email or voicemail message sent to you, by the school, with important information and reminders. We know two-way communication is best, so please feel free to call or email with any questions you may have regarding your child’s education.
