Cougar Connection

Coronado High School is proud to announce that Abigail Wantanabe and Reed Gubler

have been selected to serve on the Hope Squad National Council.

Hope Squad is an evidence-based suicide prevention program that reduces the risk of suicide through intentional connection. An approved program listed on the Suicide Prevention Resource Center’s Best Practice Registry, Hope Squad is supported by academic research partners and currently used in thousands of schools across the United States.

“Research shows that struggling students are more likely to confide in a peer than an adult. Hope Squad is purposefully designed to empower a team of students to be alert and to connect struggling peers to help and hope,” said Greg Hudnall, founder of Hope Squad. “Hope Squad members become leaders and champions for change by teaching and connecting with the entire student body to reduce mental health stigma and shape a school’s culture.”

As a member of the National Council, Abigail and Reed will not only serve their school’s Hope Squad but will also represent Hope Squad on a national level. In this role, they will have the chance to educate others about the importance of suicide prevention, share their passion for mental health awareness, spread the reach of Hope Squad, and help shape Hope Squad programming.

We are proud of Abigail and Reed for being selected to serve on the Hope Squad National Council. Hope Squad is changing the conversation around mental health stigma and helping struggling children and adolescents feel seen, heard and valued by their peers, so the work they do is invaluable.
