Hannah Beardsley Middle School is excited for another great year of Hope Squad! Hope Squad is an evidence-based, peer-to-peer youth suicide prevention program, dedicated to spreading hope and creating a school culture that promotes connectedness and inclusivity. The Hope Squad is composed of students selected by their peers for their kindness, approachability, and trustworthiness to help prevent mental health crises among their peers. Trusted adults within your student’s school community have been trained as Hope Squad advisors to administer the most up-to-date mental health resources and training. Hope Squads are encouraged to meet regularly to learn, discuss, and collaborate on ways to promote mental wellness in the school in the effort of suicide prevention. In the coming weeks, sixth graders will be asked to nominate their peers to be a Hope Squad member for this upcoming school year. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Hope Squad Advisors Rachel Hamann at rhamann@d47.org or Amy Hoven at ahoven@d47.org. To learn more about Hope Squad, please visit https://hopesquad.com/.
