Being a kid has always been hard — and the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated troubling trends and introduced a host of new threats to young people’s mental health.

But the research is clear: talking about mental health and suicide prevention helps save lives.

That’s why Stephen Wise Free Synagogue’s Religious School and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention are partnering for two parallel programs on suicide prevention and mental health awareness intended for parents of adolescents and teenagers in grades 8–12. We hope you’ll join us!
