Last year, one in five teens made a suicide plan. It has never been more important to learn about suicide prevention and mental health. For over four decades, we have provided live suicide prevention trainings for students, teachers, school counselors, and more. In the face of our youth mental health crisis, Didi Hirsch Academy was built to empower even more caregivers with up-to-date suicide prevention resources.
