 Teen Life Counts is a school-based suicide prevention and awareness program. TLC uses professional staff and 35 trained
community volunteers to teach a suicide prevention program in 45 area schools. Last year, TLC reached 7000 students and referred 500 students for counseling.
Students in the TLC program learn how to identify warning signs of depression and suicide, how to talk to a troubled friend, and where to go to get help. They are also taught the importance of breaking a secret to save a life and the danger of alcohol and substance abuse by those who are depressed or suicidal. |
