Each year, a dedicated organization focuses on delivering crucial suicide prevention education to students in grades 5-12 within Eagle County schools. The program is designed to ensure that students in grades 6-12 receive one comprehensive 50-minute lesson annually. This initiative aims to equip young individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize the signs of distress in themselves and their peers.
The curriculum emphasizes the importance of mental health awareness, fostering an environment where students feel comfortable discussing their feelings and seeking help. By targeting this age group, the program seeks to create a strong foundation for emotional resilience and support among students.
In addition to the lessons, the initiative encourages open conversations about mental health, aiming to reduce stigma and promote a culture of understanding. As students navigate the challenges of adolescence, this education serves as a critical resource, potentially saving lives by empowering them to reach out for help when needed.
