World Suicide Prevention Day
World Suicide Prevention Day is September 10. It’s a time to remember those affected by suicide, to raise awareness, and to focus efforts on directing treatment to those who need it most. Bishop Manogue Catholic High School is partnered with the Children’s Cabinet Signs of Suicide (SOS) prevention program. The Signs of Suicide Prevention Program is a nationally recognized program for high school-age students. The program teaches students through a video and through discussion how to identify the symptoms of depression and suicidality in themselves or their friends and encourages help-seeking. The SOS program will be going into your child’s religion classes beginning on September 26th. The SOS program also will conduct a complimentary screening for any parents who opt to provide permission. Permission slips will be given to your students on September 26th for those who wish for their child to be screened.
