September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Friend.

Here at Stand With Parkland, we know that keeping children safe means protecting more than just their physical security. It also means ensuring that every student has the mental health support they need to thrive.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people ages 10–24. That heartbreaking fact underscores the importance of mental health in the school safety conversation.

Students who feel supported, connected, and heard are less likely to suffer in silence. In fact, they’re more likely to seek help when they need it.

That’s why Stand With Parkland is proud to provide mental health resources like The Columbia Protocol to families in need.
