September is Suicide Prevention Month. The 988 Lifeline is available to support anyone through any emotional need — not just thoughts of suicide. By calling, texting, or chatting, anyone can connect with a trained crisis counselor who is ready to provide support at any time. CUSD also has mental health resources available to support students at all of our schools.
Downloadable PDFs of the parent and educator tips are available at https://5il.co/2458h.
