On October 8th and 9th, Wedgewood school staff and district personnel are working to teach 7th grade students about mental health and how to seek help if they are worried about themselves or a friend. We are using a program called SOS Signs of Suicide. The program teaches students about this difficult topic and encourages them to seek help.SOS has been used by thousands of schools for over 20 years. Studies have shown that it effectively teaches students about depression and suicide while reducing the number of students’ self-reported suicide attempts.Through the program, students learn:
-
That depression is treatable, so they are encouraged to seek help
-
How to identify depression and potential suicide risk in themselves or a friend
-
To ACT (Acknowledge, Care and Tell a trusted adult) if concerned about themselves or a friend
-
Who they can turn to at school for help
Students will watch age-appropriate video clips and participate in a guided discussion about depression, suicide, and what to do if they are concerned about a friend. Following the video, students will complete a brief depression screening form. This form cannot provide a diagnosis of depression but does indicate whether a young person should seek help from a mental health professional.At the end of class, students will complete an exit slip which asks whether they would like to talk to an adult about any concerns. School staff will conduct brief meetings with any student asking to talk.We encourage you to visit www.mindwise.org/parents for information on warning signs for youth suicide, useful resources, and some of the key messages students will learn.We want to encourage families who are unsure and have further questions to contact Mrs. Kate Stine the school counselor at kstine@columbus.k12.oh.us or Ms. Hannah Putman the school social worker at hputman@columbus.k12.oh.us.If you DO NOT want your child to participate in the SOS program, please reach out to the school at 614-365-5947 by October 8th at 8:00 AM. -
