The CDC survey findings also reveal the important role that schools play in helping students feel cared for, supported, and connected. Students who felt connected to adults and peers at school were significantly less likely to report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness; to have seriously considered suicide; or attempted suicide.
Schools are important partners in supporting student mental health and wellbeing by providing education and services that support both prevention and intervention.
