In response to this alarming statistic, Suicide Prevention Week is a week aimed at bringing awareness to suicide warning signs, how to get help, and suicide resources that are available. At Sullivan Middle School, student council is hosting a Spirit Week to show support for suicide prevention.

This card is meant to be a simple way for students who are hurting to reach out for help. Additionally, in the middle school art class, students will receive a short presentation about suicide warning signs and ways to get help before beginning a project in which they will create Suicide Prevention posters.
