• "CHOICES" and "SUICIDE CRISIS PREVENTION"  

Suicide claims the lives of thousands of teens each year.  It is the third leading cause of death in those aged 14 - 19, and the second leading cause of death among those aged 19 - 25.   Suicide is the sixth leading cause of death among those aged 5 - 14.

"CHOICES" is an award winning program that educates youth on how to recognize the signals of suicide and how to seek help for themselves or a friend.  Suicide is not about wanting to die.  Suicide is about stopping the pain.  "CHOICES" helps youth realize that there is another choice besides suicide.  Talking about suicide is the first step for PREVENTION.  

The program is offered to junior high and high school students and cam be presented in an hour format.  Call (806) 765-7272 for more information.
