Lunch & Keynote with The Hope Squad
Got HOPE?

HOPE provides a guiding light in the darkness. HOPE pulls us through in challenging times and HOPE believes that goodness is right around the corner. It is no wonder that one of the most successful adolescent suicide prevention programs in the U.S. embodies all of that and more. Hope Squad is a school-based suicide prevention program that trains and mentors students, nominated by their peers, to perform intentional outreach within their school. The Hope Squad research-based model impacts students at Tier I, Tier II and Tier III levels and is a game changer when it comes to suicide prevention, normalizing help-seeking behaviors and reducing the stigma around mental health. Since its inception in 2006, Hope Squad has impacted over a million students nationwide in grades 4 thru 12. Come learn the Hope Squad story, gain insight on what the research says about the peer-to-peer concept and journey into the possibilities of prevention!
