Helping children cope with loss
As administrators, teachers, counselors, and parents, we often struggle to find the right words to help children understand death, when we ourselves don’t have all of the answers. If you are looking for ways to talk with your child about a death or tragedy, we encourage you to read our resource document Suggestions for Parents When Responding to a Death.
Suicide Prevention Resources
We encourage you to join us in being vigilant, as we help our students cope with the recent death of a fellow student; watch for signs of depression, learn about the risk factors and warning signs for suicide, read and share stories of hope and recovery, and let our students know that if they are struggling, there is help and there is hope.
Learn about the risk factors and warning signs from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
