Hope Squad is an evidence-based, peer-to-peer suicide prevention program built around the power of connection. 

Hope Squads make a difference by using effective prevention strategies to reduce the risk of suicide: peer engagement and intentional outreach. 

A Hope Squad is a group nominated by their peers. 

They meet regularly with trained advisors to talk and learn about mental health.

Members are trained to note signs of distress and reach out, connecting peers to help and hope.

Hope Squads interact with and educate the entire student body to reduce stigma and change their community's culture.
