Sources of Strength Signs of Suicide The Signs of Suicide Signs of Suicide Prevention Program is a universal, school-based depression awareness and suicide prevention program designed for middle-school (ages 11–13) or high-school (ages 13–17) students. The goals are to: 1) Decrease suicide and suicide attempts by increasing student knowledge and adaptive attitudes about depression Students will watch a series of brief educational videos and participate in a guided discussion about suicide and what to do if they are concerned about themselves or a friend. All videos contain age-appropriate dramatizations of students demonstrating common signs of suicide along with the right and wrong ways to respond using the ACT technique (Acknowledge, Care, Tell). Younger students watch dramatizations, roundtable discussion, and learn from experts, while older students also see real-life stories from young adults who have sought help and who share their journeys of recovery. http://www.mindwise.org/parents/ Resources:
