• In Arizona, one in four high school students have thoughts of suicide. Your $500 donation will fund one classroom presentation for teens to learn how to spot the warning signs of suicide in themselves and others.

• As a key influence in a teen's life, it's important to equip parents with the knowledge and tools to better support their teens. Your $1,000 donation will fund education for parents on youth suicide prevention, communicating with their teens, and building resiliency.
  

• When a teen needs help, they're more likely to turn to another teen before reaching out to an adult. Your $2,500 donation will train a new teen Peer Counselor to be a super hero providing a connection of hope to 450+ struggling teens on the hotline each year.

• Virtual trainings provide many schools with suicide prevention education when in-person training is not feasible. Your $5,000 donation will fund one virtual training for 30 school staff on youth suicide prevention and how to intervene with students at risk for suicide.
  

• Transform our peer counseling crisis hotline by funding a vital upgrade to our phone system. This improvement will ensure that every call is answered promptly, enhancing accessibility for those in crisis and providing immediate support when it’s needed most, helping us connect more effectively with those seeking hope and assistance.
