September is Suicide Prevention Month
A time to raise awareness about mental health struggles and the importance of supporting one another. This month, we aim to foster open conversations, break down stigma, and provide the resources needed to help those who may be struggling.
At College Park High School, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for all students. Our dedicated counselors and the Wellness Center staff are here to address any mental health needs, provide guidance, and offer confidential support.
How You Can Help
Educate yourself and others about suicide prevention: Learn the warning signs for suicide, the action steps on how to support someone, and better understand the symptoms and when to seek help. Familiarize yourself with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
