As we wrap up Suicide Prevention Month, let’s keep the conversation goig. You belong here. You matter. Your story matters. Let’s choose to look out for one another every single day. Together, we can create a school community where asking for help is normal, kindness is valued, and nobody feels like they have to struggle along. Check in, include others, and never hesitate to reach out to a trusted adult or counselor.
