This month is Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. We will be talking about suicide prevention and awareness, as well as mental health, throughout September.

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for ages 10-24 in the state of Georgia. It is also one of the leading causes of PREVENTABLE death.

FOUR out of FIVE teens who attempt suicide have given clear warning signs. That means that in 80% of these cases, we have an opportunity to intervene and possibly save a young person who is at-risk.

During this month, our school will be drawing attention to the problem of suicide and advocating the prevention of this tragedy. We encourage our students, staff, and the community to participate in Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. We will be sharing resources and activities throughout September to bring awareness to suicide prevention.

If you know someone who is struggling with suicidal thoughts, be a good friend and help them ask for help from a trusted adult. Here at school, we have school counselors, a social worker and psychologist who are available to provide help. Thank you for supporting this initiative!

Our counselors are a great resource.
