This flier shows the importance of having a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program in your school and introduces one program example: Hope Squad.
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 (CDC). There are some disparities in suicide and suicidal behavior, with lesbian, gay, and bisexual high schoolers having five times the suicide attempt rate as their heterosexual peers (CDC). American Indian and Alaska Native youth have higher rates of suicide, and the suicide rate for Black youth is increasing (APA). Suicide is a serious public health problem that can have lasting harmful effects on individuals, families, and communities (CDC).
School-based suicide prevention programs can be one effective tool within a comprehensive school mental health approach or Student Assistance Program. Suicide prevention programs in schools can improve prevention knowledge and awareness, reduce suicidal thoughts, and increase help-seeking skills (Cincinnati Childrens).
Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program that includes education, training, and peer intervention. Hope Squad is nationally recognized by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. A certified QPR (Question. Persuade. Refer.) instructor delivers the foundational gatekeeper training for all squads, advisors, and support staff.
