Mental Health Resources

 

The life of a teenager seems to be increasingly more difficult and it is not always easy to ask for help.  If you need help or know someone who needs help, these are some excellent resources.   

 

ON-LINE

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides valuable information and a 24/7 suicide hotline that connects those in crisis with a trained professional.

 

You matter
http://youmatter.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/
This is a great site created by Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It allows teens to share their stories in a “safe place” as well as read articles from the members of the blogger council. The council consists of a rotating group of young adults ranging from 13-24.

 

SPTS – Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide

APPS 

SEESAY: Teen Suicide Prevention
