Programs & Resources

With the right information, tools and recommended actions, we can teach our students (teachers and friends!) how to speak up, stand up and save a life. We have a list of resources that is constantly being updated to help with handling the things we talk about at our conference. Please utilize and share these resources—they exist to help!

mental health

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) says 20% of youth ages 13-18 live with a mental health condition, and approximately 50% of students age 14 and older with a mental illness drop out of high school.
 

suicide prevention

Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death in youth ages 10 - 24, and results in approximately 4,600 lives lost each year. With the right tools, we can do something about it.

bullying

This is all about prevention: teaching kids how to identify bullying and how to stand up to it safely. When adults respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior, they send the message that it is not acceptable.
 

eating disorders

Hospitalizations for eating disorders in children under the age of 12 years old increased by 119 percent between the years of 1999 and 2006. We are aiming to decrease this number with your help.
