Suicide Prevention Training for Parents & Caregivers in RSD

The Cedarcrest Forefront Team invites Riverview School District parents and caregivers to attend a free suicide prevention training on Thursday, March 12 from 6:30 – 8 p.m. at the Tolt Middle School Library.

Come learn a five-step process to help you talk with someone you’re worried about, learn if they are considering suicide and take early steps to keep them safe. This training is designed for parents and caregivers of students in grades 9 through 12, but the steps can be adapted and used with youth of any age, particularly middle school and up.

Anyone working with youth is encouraged to attend. More on this program is at forefrontintheschools.org. Register by March 9th at bit.ly/CHS-Forefront-March26 (en Espanol: bit.ly/CHS-Forefront-March26-Spanish).
