Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to facilitate the “Promise for Tomorrow” Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention instructional unit. This unit will provide your students or group participants with the resources and information needed to help them in the fight against the “silent epidemic” of youth suicide. In the downloadable section below, you will find a complete “teacher-friendly” lesson plan to present a multi-session (usually 3 to 5 sessions) program on awareness and prevention of youth suicide. Please follow the lesson plans as closely as possible. The materials are designed to and should always work in conjunction with the companion “Choices” video. The first step in facilitating this unit is to familiarize yourself with each of the components. These items can be reviewed on your computer screen or printed. You will also want to view the video before getting started. Once you become familiar with the complete unit you will then be able to facilitate in a confident and relaxed manner. Thank you for joining the fight against Youth Suicide!
