I am new to Hope Squad this year and I have my found my passion! This workshop with allow me to become a certified Hope Squad Coach. The current leader is leaving at the end of this year and I need to get trained so I can continue this worthwhile endeavor. Hope Squad was implemented about two years two ago here after several students committed suicide in our small rural area. Hope Squad has been found to be a very integral component of youth suicide-prevention programs. "It trains the students to recognize warning signs in depressed or suicidal peers, and to empower them to report those signs to an adult. Peers are considered to be the most effective receptors of warning signs because they spend so much time together and are able to recognize when someone is acting differently. Evidence-based research shows that seven out of ten adolescents experiencing depressive or suicidal thoughts will confide in a friend or trusted peer before approaching an adult. The challenge is that very rarely will the friend/trusted peer speak to their peers, and then refer their peers to an adult who can get their peer professional help, thus taking the responsibility off the adolescents." (Hope4Utah) This training will allow me to do the following: "Enhance the health and safety measures already in place at a school. Educate students on how to recognize warning signs of suicide. Educate students how to respectfully reports potential suicide behavior. Train students how to interact with, watch, and support fellow students/friends who may be struggling. Implement evidence-based strategies through Hope Squad training programs. Reduce suicide attempts." (Hope4Utah) Will you help me prevent suicide at our school and assist me in empowering my students?
