This flier shows the importance of having a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program in your school and introduces one program example: Sources of Strength.
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).
The Sources of Strength model uses the power of peer social networks to prevent suicide, violence, bullying, and substance misuse. Sources of Strength is an evidence-based program that uses a strength-based and upstream approach by engaging students, staff, and teachers in suicide prevention. Research has shown that talking about suicide does not increase occurance. Taking a trauma-informed and evidence-based approach best helps students and staff. Sources of Strength has been shown to improve healthy school norms, connectedness to adults, and school engagement.
