Suicide Awareness Week Timeline: April 24-28, 2017
KHS is sponsoring its second annual Suicide Awareness Week (SAW) April 24-28, 2017. The week was established with the goal of eliminating the stigma associated with mental illness and adolescent suicide. SAW aims to facilitate healing in the community through educational programs and resources with openness and compassion. Each day of SAW includes a different activity to promote this healing. We understand that the events of the week will not connect with everyone. However, we hope to educate all students and let them know that resources are available if they or a friend needs help. You are not alone.
If you need immediate help, please call the national suicide prevention hotline: 1-800-273-825
Your donation will support the student journalists of Kirkwood High School. Your contribution will allow us to purchase equipment and cover our annual website hosting costs.
