LDMS Suicide Awareness & Prevention Presentation

On September 23rd and 25th, the Student Services team at Lake Denoon will be facilitating a suicide awareness and prevention presentation for students. The purpose of this presentation is to equip students with information about signs and risk factors often associated with people who are contemplating suicide or having suicidal thoughts. In the presentation, students are informed about ways to problem-solve situations that may arise about suicide, receive suicide prevention resources, and are encouraged to seek help from a trusted adult. Students will have the opportunity to complete an exit survey asking if they need to be seen by a student services team member or, if they have a question following the presentation. Lake Denoon student services staff members will be available to meet with students who request to see someone. Students will be seen in order of priority on the date of the presentation and into the week. The link to the presentation is included below.

Please feel free to contact Student Services with any questions or concerns you may have. We can provide you with community resources. If you would like to opt your student out of listening to this presentation, please contact Student Services at 262-971-1820 (ext. 7011) and provide your child's name and grade to the Student Services Administrative Assistants (Jodie Henneberry and Nicole Bitter). Your student would need to come to Student Services at the start of the day to wait until the 10 minute presentation concludes.

Presentation schedule:

9-23-24 7th & 8th grade at the start of 1st hour class (Monday)

9-25-24 5th & 6th grade start of 1st hour class (Wednesday)
