Project 99’s mission is to educate teens and the community about the negative consequences of suicide and to show students how one choice can devastate an entire community. Our panel of speakers discusses the topics of how suicide directly affects one’s family and community, resources available to those affected, other ways of coping and releasing negative emotions, and reassures students that they are not alone in their time of distress.
Our Events
Be sure to check out our community events. We’d love for you to get involved and stay updated!
What is the best way to keep your loved ones safe? Become a QPR Suicide Gatekeeper. You will learn what to look for, how to ask the suicide question, how to persuade someone in crisis to get help, and where to refer them so they can get the support they need.
For 2021 we will be doing a year-long Suicide Prevention Rocks campaign to engage our youth in bringing hope to others though positive messages and art. Are you interested in helping with this campaign?
Every year, we gather our students, their families, and the community together to “Bring Suicide Out of the Dark” by bringing awareness to issues surrounding mental health and suicide.
Who needs to know what steps they can take to support someone in crisis? The answer is EVERYONE! People often think that suicide will not affect them…until it does. Our goal is to educate our students, staff, families, and the community at large, so they have the tools and resources needed BEFORE suicide affects them.
Mental health and suicide can be taboo topics. It’s uncomfortable to talk about these issues, but as adults, if we never address these topics, how will our children know they can reach out to us when they are in crisis? We bring awareness through our trainings, our Lights for Life 5K, and through our work with the community.
Giving back and doing for others can help us put our problems in perspective and feel good about giving back to others. At Project 99 we find opportunities for our students to go out in the community to spread awareness and make the world a more positive and hopeful place. How can you give back through Project 99?
Project 99 is led by a group of people whose mission is to educate teens and the community about the negative consequences of suicide and to show students how one choice can devastate an entire community
