HeartLine offers facilitator training to equip volunteers with skills necessary to present the program to youth in schools.

HeartLine’s HELP (Healthy Education for Life Program) Suicide Awareness and Prevention Outreach Program is considered an invaluable service to the community as it assists schools and community youth groups in identifying students who are at risk. It informs everyone from those who work with young people to students about suicidal warnings signs and how to take action, and includes information on the impact of depression and substance abuse. The video-based program currently reaches approximately 5,000 youth each year. Following the presentations, over 10% of youth have self-identified that they have considered harming themselves or are currently thinking about attempting suicide.
