Erika's Lighthouse
A key component to an individual's healthy development is the conscious allowance for social and emotional exploration and learning.
To grow in a well-rounded and responsible way, we all need to learn how to recognize and manage difficult emotions and use healthy coping and problem-solving skills.
And we need to understand when it is vital to reach out for support.
For this reason, D211 has chosen to implement a depression and suicide awareness program, The Erika's Lighthouse Program: Depression and Suicide Awareness for High School Students. This program was developed by a highly respected mental health education and advocacy organization, Erika's Lighthouse: A Beacon of Hope for Adolescent Depression.
The program goals include:
- Raising awareness of depression and its symptoms
- Reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues
- Encouraging the utilization of support services if necessary
