Signs of Suicide (S.O.S) Prevention
- To explain that suicide is a preventable tragedy that often occurs as a result of untreated depression
- To provide students training in how to identify serious depression and potential risk of suicide in a friend
- To impress upon youth that they can help themselves or a friend by taking the simple step of talking to a trusted adult about their concerns
- To teach students who they can turn to at school for help, if they need it
We encourage help seeking behavior through the ACT technique:
Acknowledge: Listen to your friend, don't ignore threats
Care: Let your friend know you care
Tell: Tell a trusted adult so they can help
