Suicide Prevention: How Are You Feeling?

Mental health is essential to a student’s physical health, and we need to provide them with the opportunity and environment to openly share how they’re feeling. To address this challenge, we’ve put together a panel of mental health and student safety experts for an online discussion where they’ll discuss how to foster open dialogue with students who may be at risk of self-harm or suicide.

Speakers:

• Judy Burgess, Director of Student Services, Visalia Unified SD
