Conversation on Loss, Suicide, and Self Harm tomorrow at MHC

The meeting has multiple purposes:

To seek information from the most valuable community partners that we have – our parents. We know parents are feeling hyper-vigilant as it relates to the aftermath of an additional suicide death of a student at Crescent Heights High School. We will share tools to help you talk with your kids about loss, suicide and self harm.
To share information with parents about the mental health of youth in our community. We connected with experts in the field of trauma response to access valuable information about coping skills and how to access community support.
We believe that sharing information and encouraging helpful dialogue between ourselves will help us to plan ahead in supporting our community. This community meeting is a testimony to the commitment of parents, schools and community leaders doing the right things for our children.

We need your help! We are seeking information from the most valuable community partners we have, our parents. This will help us to assess where we are at and help us to plan ahead and support our kids in the best way. Please help us to answer these questions in a short survey prior to the event.

What are you seeing and hearing from your child and/or their peer group?
What are you noticing in yourselves (as parents)?
What are you worried about?
What do you need for your child(ren)?
What do you need for yourself as a caregiver?

Care givers will have an opportunity to ask questions in person and online. (Online attendees are welcome to ask questions using the chat function in Microsoft Teams.)
