Monthly Newsletter

Hello Condor Students and Families,

Every month the Wellness Center dedicates itself to a theme to address an important mental health topic that affects our communities. This month our emphasis is on Suicide Prevention. 

According to the CDC, suicide is one of the leading causes of death for young people aged 10-34. While we understand that talking about suicide is one of the most challenging and frightening topics to talk about for a family, it is one of the most important. 

SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrations states, "Preventing suicide means understanding risk, accessing supportive proven care, and sharing hope because healing is possible." Below we have gathered a list of resources that can help guide you as you learn to support yourself, your student, or a friend. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Text or call 988, the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
