WHAT IS HOPE SQUAD?

Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program. Hope Squad members are
nominated by their classmates as trustworthy peers and trained by advisors. The
program reduces youth suicide through education, training, and peer
intervention.

Hope squad has impacted me by creating an amazing group of people I’m glad I
could become friends with. We all strive to make each other happy and help
everyone with whatever they need, and that makes us happy. I love having that
group of people to I can look up to and rely on listening when I need them.

Hope squad has brought me closer to people I may not have talked to. It has made
me look at things in a new way and has made me understand more of what people
are going through. Being in Hope Squad, I feel, has made me a better person, and
it has taught me to never judge people because you never know what they could
really be going through.
Maurisa M.
The Hope Squad has provided a safe environment. Even if I don’t actively talk
about it, it gives me a sense of calm knowing if I ever did need to talk to
someone, I have the resources that the Hope Squad offers on my side.

HOPE SQUAD ON



May, 2019
(Update: There are now over 1,600 Squads in 41 states and Canada)



Why Start a Hope Squad?

 * * Train staff and community members in youth suicide prevention through
     evidence-based training.
   * Empower the natural helpers in your school through peer-to-peer suicide
     prevention training.
   * Raise awareness of mental health and youth suicide prevention resources. 
   * Educate students on how to recognize suicide warning signs and respectfully
     report concerns.
   * Train students how to support fellow students who may be struggling.
   * Increase connectedness, inclusion, and social-emotional learning skills.
   * Increase help-seeking behaviors.
   * Reduce suicide attempts.

Hope Squad Helps

Nationally known for our ability to connect students with each other and to
mental health resources, Hope Squad has a process that works on all levels for
youth suicide prevention.

Prevention

School suicide prevention involves educating the school community and increasing
mental health, connectedness, and resilience.

Intervention

Intervention involves recognizing when someone is at risk for suicide and
referring the person to mental health resources.

Postvention

Postvention involves helping those affected by a suicide cope with the loss and
reducing the risk of further suicides.

Hope Squad members strive to:


 * Create a safe school environment
 * Promote connectedness
 * Support anti-bullying
 * Encourage mental wellness
 * Reduce mental health stigma
 * Prevent substance misuse

Community Suicide 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
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.

Quotes from our newly-trained advisors

I feel like this will make a huge difference. I think this is a wonderful
program. I can't wait to get started.
Hi! I teach middle school English. I was asked by our counselor to join this
program. This hits close to home. I have lost several friends to suicide and if
I can be the one to help, I want to be that one.
I am excited to get through this training. I chose to start this journey because
I see such a need in my students to have somewhere safe to go and mentors they
can look to for an example.
I'm a middle school history teacher from Ft. Worth, TX. I wanted to join Hope
Squad because teenagers need advocates. I want to be that for the kids in my
school.
I've served at-risk youth for the majority of my 18 years as a professional
educator. This is the best training I've taken since being introduced to trauma
informed care.

are missing vital components that Hope Squad offers!
I am a High School science teacher in Texas. I have lost students in the past to
suicide so it's important for me to help students understand that there are
resources to help them through difficult times in their lives.
Grateful for this training and knowledge. Wish I would have had this opportunity
years ago. Thank you!
I am here to give any support needed for students who may be struggling...want
