CAMPOLINDO WELLNESS CENTER

SUICIDE PREVENTION & AWARENESS MONTH
September is Suicide Prevention & Awareness Month, a time to recognize the important role families and schools play in supporting student well-being. One of the most effective methods of preventing suicide is through open, non-judgmental conversations about mental health which help students feel heard and supported. When teens feel valued at home, at school, and in their community, they are more likely to reach out for help. Reducing stigma and ensuring access to professional mental health services further strengthen our ability to care for every student.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for immediate support or use the anonymous Say Something App. To learn more about teen suicide prevention, you can check out this article from the Mayo Clinic.

LOOKING FOR STUDENT LEADERS FOR T.U.P.E CLUB
T.U.P.E. - The Tobacco-Use Prevention Educators work to prevent or reduce student tobacco use & nicotine addiction through evidence-informed educational instruction & activities which build knowledge, and social skills.

WELLNESS CENTER RESOURCES
If your student is experiencing difficulty with grief and loss, do not hesitate to reach out to Wellness, school counselors, or administrators. You can also access resources HERE and through the Contra Costa Crisis Center.

For information and details regarding programming, support groups, and educational opportunities, visit our webpage or follow us on Instagram @campowellness.
