Trauma-Informed Schools: A Pathway to Suicide Prevention, Belonging, and Hope

Youth suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people, yet schools have the power to be life-saving spaces of connection, belonging, and hope. By embracing trauma-informed practices, cultural humility, and restorative approaches, educators can transform classrooms into protective environments where every student feels seen, valued, and supported. This Suicide Prevention Month, Resilient Futures calls on communities to invest in practices that not only strengthen academics but save lives and preserve futures.
