Suicide
Prevention
Press
Kit
By Mitch Eden
K
irkwood High School
journalism students will
be sponsoring a Suicide
Prevention Awareness
Week at KHS April 25-29. Activities
are being planned each day
to involve all students at the
school in hopes to educate, spur
discussion and help end the
stigma of mental illness, anxiety
and depression.
Our goal with the development
of a press kit is to provide other
media programs with some
ideas and tools to either cover
these important issues in their
own media and possibly launch
their own Suicide Prevention
Awareness Day or Week at their
respective school.
Below is a list of resources
compiled by The Kirkwood
Call staff. The kit also includes
Kirkwood High School’s Suicide
Prevention Awareness Week
and the activities we have
planned. We hope you’ll join us
with thoughtful and important
coverage of these topics.
