Attention 7th grade parents: Today during your child's Guidance lesson, we will talk about ways to identify if a friend or loved one is having suicidal thoughts and how to help someone in this situation. Warning signs included irrational thinking, talking about death, lack of interest in activities and passions, and self injury. Students were taught to ACT (Take Action, Show the Person you Care, then get them someone to Talk to). Students discussed situations that were "wait till morning" situations and those that were urgent and needed help right away. The local Crisis number wil be shared with students to use if need be. You may find this lesson as an opportunity to talk to your child about suicide and how to help yourself or a loved one.
