Brookings High School Students and Families,
Did you know that In South Dakota, suicide is the leading cause of death among individuals ages 10 to 19-year-olds and 20 to 29-year-olds in 2022 (SD DOH Vital Stats)?
On March 25th from 6:30-8:00 pm in the BHS Auditorium the Brookings High School Counseling team will be hosting a viewing of the documentary My Ascension, brought to the district by the Helpline Center. My Ascension is a 50-minute documentary that chronicles Emma's inspiring journey and quest to walk again after her suicide attempt.
Following the documentary viewing, attendants will observe a panel discussion consisting of mental health professionals and community members. Resources will be available for families.
Please note that this is recommended for a viewing audience of 7th grade and up.
If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, help is available. Call or text 988 anytime 24/7 to connect with mental health resources in your area.
