Hope: A Guide for Faith Leaders to Help Prevent Youth Suicide

The purpose of this guide is to provide faith leaders with guidance for identifying and helping youth who may be at risk for suicide but it is not intended as a comprehensive set of practices in suicide prevention. It is a resource to help increase awareness and build capacity to serve at-risk youth. This assistance includes opening a conversation, providing support, assisting them in finding a mental health professional, and responding in a crisis situation. It also includes your role in fostering a sense of connectedness, meaning, and hope.
