September marks National Suicide Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about suicide prevention and share messages of hope. Learn the warning signs and risk factors for suicide, how to report and connect someone who is considering suicide with more support, and familiarize yourself with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
The High School has videos, activities, and presentation for students to learn more about suicide prevention and how to report and get more help. During our recent professional development sessions for staff, one of our High School Counselors shed light on suicide prevention awareness, equipping our staff to have open conversations with students during their advisory class. The goal is for our students to understand what symptoms to watch for and who to connect for support. We also have another video made by our counselors about coping strategies when feeling strong emotions, click here to view the video.
Counselors and Licensed Mental Health Professionals out there in the community possess the specialized training and expertise necessary to guide individuals through even the most challenging of situations, providing vital support and assistance when it may seem like there are no available options.
It is essential to remember that, regardless of how dire things may appear, there are always alternatives and avenues for help. In times of crisis, you are never alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for support.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available at your disposal, offering both phone and text-based assistance through the easily accessible number 988.
Additionally, for members of the Texas School for the Deaf community, there are tailored Deaf Mental Health and Wellness Resources available to provide the necessary care and assistance needed during difficult times.
