Project 99’s mission is to educate teens and the community about the negative consequences of suicide and to show students how one choice can devastate an entire community. Our panel of speakers discusses the topics of how suicide directly affects one’s family and community, resources available to those affected, other ways of coping and releasing negative emotions, and reassures students that they are not alone in their time of distress. Our goal for these donations is to expand our talks to other districts across California. We will also be launching a Gatekeeper training for teachers and staff and we will be offering them scholarships that will cover the cost of subs so they can attend.
