NTHS Hope Squad is based on the National Hope Squad program and is the TTUSD district approach to suicide prevention. Students are surveyed and are able to nominate peers who they feel they can talk to about vulnerable topics. These nominated students are trained in how to support someone who is experiencing suicidal ideation and how to connect them to the appropriate resource. Hope Squad members are instructed to ALWAYS tell an adult when a peer shares thoughts of self-harm and are given tools to navigate these tricky situations.
Hope Squad members host a annual Hope Week to spread awareness around suicide and to bring hope to the NTHS campus. |
