CHADS Coalition for Mental Health has been working in the school-based suicide prevention space for almost 20 years. Throughout that time, the agency continues to build on best practices and provide life-saving interventions to children and youth utilizing the evidence-based Signs of Suicide Program and evidence-informed Social Emotional Mentoring Programs. Children and teens need support for their mental and behavioral health now more than ever. This session will give a lens into best practices that schools can utilize on their own and through CHADS Coalition.
