PTA Healthy Minds

National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

It is never too early to start reducing risk factors for suicide and increasing the protective factors in children’s lives. September is National Suicide Prevention Month and the Sunny Hills PTA wants to focus on our community and our student's mental health.

Do you know how to prioritize your child's mental health? Did you know that PTA has tools to help you and your family become proactive about mental health?

National PTA has developed the PTA Healthy Minds Program to help families make mental health an everyday priority. Check out the resources on this webpage, including informational and activity resources directly for families and resources to help PTAs run PTA Healthy Minds programming. Materials for the Healthy Minds programming can also be found in Spanish, Tagalog, Somali and Mandarin.
