More Than Sad: Suicide Prevention for Parents Virtual Workshops

The NSCSD’s Mental Health and Wellness Monthly Awareness programing for December is Healthy Holiday Expectations. Please join us for two free virtual presentations, "More Than Sad: Suicide Prevention for Parents" on Thursday, December 8.  Kristen Stanton, the District's School Based Mental Health and Wellness Coordinator said, “The holidays can be a very stressful and difficult time for many people, especially with COVID. We may be missing family and traditions that we can’t do anymore. Because of this we want to provide parents with information that will help them to identify warning signs in their children, how to have a conversation about how they are feeling and where to go for help.”  The More Than Sad family of programs has taught over a million students, parents and educators how to be smart about mental health. Parents will learn how to recognize signs of depression and other mental health problems, initiate a conversation with their child, and get him or her help.
