Suicide is complicated and tragic, but it is often preventable. Knowing the warning signs for suicide and how to get help can help save lives. Learn about behaviors that may be a sign that someone is thinking about suicide. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth https://t.co/bNprlFNHag

“It’s like CPR but for mental health for 15 to 18-year-olds.” Edson College DNP student Christina Jones partnered with @ChandlerUnified to bring the “Teen Mental Health First Aid” program to the district for her doctoral project, and it's making an impact.
