Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the Strath Haven student who tragically ended her own life on Monday, October 28. We know that suicide is an effort to end one’s pain, but we also know that it creates unending pain for others. In this time of loss, our community strives to come together to support each other. Know the warning signs of suicide to look out for one another and offer care when needed. Warning signs for youth include talking about suicide, changes of behavior, withdrawing from peers, and expressing hopelessness. If you are worried about someone, stay with them, ask them if they are okay, listen, and tell a trusted adult to get them help.
The DCSPATF is a network of individuals and professionals who strive to decrease the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide while working to increase supports and resources to schools, civic groups, churches, and other community organizations teaching the basics of suicide intervention. Together, we can save lives.
