What is a
Hope Squad?
A Hope Squad is a group nominated by their peers.
They meet regularly with trained advisors to talk and learn about mental health.
Members are trained to note signs of distress and reach out, connecting peers to help and hope.
Hope Squads teach and connect with the entire student body to reduce stigma and change their community’s culture.

Community Prevention
The impact of suicide is far-reaching and affects entire communities. When cities, mental health organizations, and schools work together for youth suicide prevention, the entire community is strengthened. We speak a common language—we are educated to understand warning signs and recognize who is at risk. We gain a common understanding—we know how to intervene and what to do. We have common knowledge—we know how to access resources and where to go for help. Working together, there is hope that suicide can be prevented.
