Suicide Prevention Day at DHS - Wednesday, April 6
Posted on: Apr 5, 2016
In 2014, there were 42,773 deaths by suicide in the United States. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds. On Wednesday, April 6, the Delano High School COMPASS program will be conducting a Suicide Prevention and Awareness Day. There will be sidewalk chalk messages of hope as students enter the school, bracelets that will be handed out to all students, a Banner of Hope for students to sign at lunch, and speaker Janet Benz will give a personal testimony to 11th and 12th graders about losing a child and the healing process. Let's all help prevent suicide in our schools and community!
