School-Based Education
Raising Awareness of Personal Power (RAPP)
"Maybe if I use some of
the strategies I learned today, I won't have to go to another
funeral caused by suicide."
-RAPP high school student participant
"You really influenced
a friend of mine. She was considering suicide, but after I
told her what you said, she decided to reconsider her decision.
Again, thanks, and I hope you influence other kids like you
did my friend."
-RAPP junior high school participant
RAPP is a school-based suicide education and prevention
program. RAPP teaches students signs of depression, suicidal warning
signs, and how to help themselves or a friend. These interactive
presentations are usually given as part of the health class curriculum.
RAPP has been offered in the school system since 1996, and we currently
speak with over 3000 students each year. The Suicide Resource Center
provides this free service for middle schools and high schools in
Larimer County.
