KENNEDY & TRUMAN HIGH SCHOOLS to sponsor suicide prevention roundtable

The recently released Netflix series “13 Reasons Why” deals with the main character listing the 13 reasons why she wants to die.

The staff at Kennedy and Truman high schools wants to make sure that students understand issue, and are planning an educational night to help combat those types of feelings.

Fliers for the educational program were going home with students this week, and the program will be held at 5-7 p.m. May 25 at the Taylor Human Service Community Room, 26650 Eureka Road.

Social worker Sandra Kluk said the night, entitled “13 Ways to Reach Out,” will be a roundtable discussion on suicide prevention and tips to aid in prevention.

“No matter what your stance is, we need to talk about suicide,” she wrote on the flier for the event.


Kluk said the event coincides with other Mental Health Awareness Week activities.
