Run by the Suicide Prevention Center of Dayton, this group will be an anonymous, safe space for teens aged 12-18 who have attempted suicide or are currently grappling with suicidal thoughts.  You will be free to share your thoughts, feelings, and struggles with other teenagers like you and adult facilitators trained in suicide prevention. You will get an opportunity to learn about suicidality, interventions, and support resources all in a safe, supportive environment.  Other Passages for Teens is open to kids of any shape, size, color, religious and cultural background, gender identity or sexual orientation.

According to the CDC, 16% of school-aged kids report having suicidal thoughts.  If this is you, there are people out there who have been in your shoes.  We are here and ready to listen to you and whatever you have to say.  We will never share your name.  We will never share your story.  Come to a meeting, and you will find that you are not alone.  If none of this applies to you, you can still help!  If you have a friend, teammate, or other acquaintance who is going through a struggle, tell them about us.  This group is for them.
