1. Recognizing the signs that someone may be struggling. These can include talking about wanting to die, withdrawing from friends or activities, showing sudden mood changes, or expressing feelings of hopelessness.

2. Children and teens who experience bullying, family conflict, trauma, or mental health challenges are at a greater risk. Having easier access to harmful means, like medications or weapons, can increase that risk even more. (Suicide Prevention, 2025)

3. Adults and peers can help by building strong, supportive relationships, creating open spaces for honest conversations, and taking all warning signs seriously. If you notice concerning behavior, it's important to speak up and get help from a counselor, trusted adult, or crisis service.

In class, always be true to yourself and nothing else will matter. We are a family, and here each quarter, we will have a "detox week" to destress and focus on our mental health. In class we promote positive communication and feel free to share your cultural background in show and tell.
