100,000 COPIES DONATED AND THEY COULD GO TO YOUR SCHOOL OR ORGANIZATION!
The state of California just passed Assembly Bill2246 mandating the Governing Board of any LEA that serves pupils in grades seven to twelve, inclusive, adopt a policy on pupil suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. The policy shall specifically address the needs of high-risk groups, include consideration of suicide awareness and prevention training for teachers, and ensure that a school employee acts only within the authorization and scope of the employee’s credential or license.

R U OK? can help your school comply with AB 2246 and be the toolkit students and educators need for dealing with mental illnesses, depression, addiction and suicide.
