It is estimated that for every child who dies by suicide, there are 100 attempts within our community. HELP SAVE OUR TEENS! 

**According to the CDC, PROVEN STRATEGIES FOR  SUICIDE PREVENTION include community engagement activities and peer-to-peer support programs that promote connectedness & teach problem-solving skills.
