The Impact of Suicide and Contagion (Grades 9-12)

High school can be really hard for many students. The transition into adulthood brings many new forms of stress. School, greater responsibilities and challenges can take a toll on teens’ emotional and mental health. This course is designed specifically for high school students so that they can better identify youth suicide risk – in themselves and others – so that they can intervene and/or ask for the support that is needed. With care and sensitivity, we will discuss mental health concerns – such as anxiety and depression; signs and symptoms, and how they can get the help they need.
