Suicide Awareness & Prevention Month

START WITH HELLO WEEK CURRICULUM

As a focus on suicide awareness month, we will be celebrating Start with Hello Week. The goal of this week is to promote awareness of social isolation and encourage a culture/school community that responds to social isolation with positive connection.

Serrano High School has been doing Start with Hello week for the past few years; we are excited to bring this short lesson/curriculum to all grade levels for suicide awareness.

Students will be taught in all grades to identify social isolation (see someone alone), reach out to help, and simply start a connection by saying hello.
