Following a successful first year at Timpview, Hope Squads expanded to every school in the district, changing the approach to suicide prevention to empower peers as part of the process. The result: Zero suicides in the Provo City School District for nine years after implementation.
What if this is the answer? I know the harm in not trying....
We are gathering more information on ways to bring this to schools and communities for little or no cost, but at the moment we anticipate that PTAs will have to fund the program or the Hope Squad will assist you with getting funding.
We strive to eliminate the cost barrier in suicide prevention, so if cost is an issue please email us at [email protected] and we will do all we can to help!
We also feel this program would be extremely valuable on college campuses and can enter through various clubs and organizations. Parents of college-age children can still bring this to those high-risk age groups and empower our young adults!
