Suicide Prevention/Resources

As we enter September, we recognize Suicide Prevention Month—a time dedicated to raising awareness and fostering critical conversations about mental health and suicide prevention. At the Hawthorne School District, we sincerely appreciate the tireless efforts of our schools and educators in creating safe, supportive, and nurturing environments for all students. Our commitment to the well-being of our students is at the heart of everything we do, and we want to thank our staff for being on the front lines of this important work.

We have curated a collection of key resources to promote awareness, education, and support within your school community.
