Youth Suicide and Self-Injury Prevention

The award-winning SOS Signs of Suicide^® Prevention Program is designed to:

• Educate students on how to respond to the signs of suicide in themselves or a friend using the ACT^® approach (Acknowledge, Care, Tell)
• Encourage students to discuss emotional issues with friends and parents
• Teach students that suicide is preventable

The SOS program is the only school-based suicide prevention program listed in Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices that addresses suicide risk and depression, while reducing suicide attempts.

The SOS program is available for middle school and high schools serving children of military personnel in the U.S and overseas.
