October 25, 2024 | HOPE Squad and Yellow Ribbon Presentation
HOPE Squad students prepared for our Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Presentation for our 7th Graders at WMS. Yellow Ribbon is a Nationwide Program that our counselors put on yearly for our students.
HOPE Squad is a school-based peer-to peer suicide prevention program that trains students to perform intentional outreach with fellow students. The program outcomes also include reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and overall improvement of mental health knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy of our members.
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death in Nebraskans ages 10-24. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
