No matter your role, you can make a difference. Let’s build a culture where emotional well-being is just as important as academic success, and where no one feels alone.

It's World #SuicidePrevention Day. Take a moment to remind someone you love that they're never alone. Erika's Lighthouse takes an upstream approach to meet students where they are. We believe every school should have programs that address all four pillars: Classroom Education, Empowerment Clubs, Family Enagagement, and Policy & Staff Training to help promote an inclusive school community around mental health. Erika's Lighthouse provides schools with a full suite of Tier 1 mental health, depression education, and suicide prevention programs for EVERY stakeholder in the community. Join us to ensure no student faces their depression alone. https://hubs.la/Q02NTl9Y0

As National Suicide Prevention Month unfolds, the conversation about mental health takes on a heightened sense of urgency, especially within our K-12 schools. The pressures students face today—whether academic, social, or personal—can sometimes feel overwhelming, and these pressures often manifest as signs of distress that may go unnoticed until it’s too late. Recognizing these signs early is crucial; parents and teachers play pivotal roles in identifying and supporting students through challenging times.

🌟 Empowering Minds: Suicide Prevention Lecture at RAPIM 🌟 As part of Suicide Prevention Month, we recently hosted an insightful session aimed at raising awareness on suicide prevention for our students. The lecture covered essential aspects of mental health, early intervention strategies, and fostering a supportive community. At R. A. Podar Institute of Management, we believe that creating an open dialogue about mental well-being is crucial for a safe and nurturing academic environment. We thank all the students for their active participation and hope the knowledge shared will help create a more empathetic and informed society. 💬 Let’s continue the conversation on mental well-being and empower each other to lead healthier, happier lives. #MentalHealthMatters #SuicidePrevention #StudentWellbeing #IICRAPIM #SupportSystems

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Understanding the issues concerning suicide and mental health is an important way to take part in suicide prevention, help others in crisis, and change the conversation around suicide. In ASD, it is our priority that we cultivate conditions where all students feel safe, valued, empowered, and loved. Together, each member of our learning community can make a difference and prioritize suicide prevention, ensuring everyone gets the help they need. Learn more: samhsa.gov/suicide #WSPD #SPM24
