Hidden in Plain Sight: The Warning Signs in Words, Devices, and Student Behavior

Nearly 1 in 10 students attempted suicide last year, and about 4 in 10 report persistent sadness or hopelessness. The signals are already being sent. When the whole community knows what to look for, no student faces a crisis along—and every warning sign becomes a chance to help.

You don’t have to be a counselor to save a life

Join us as a internationally recognized youth suicide expert and a forensic linguist who studies how students encode risk will show you exactly how to catch the signs—the ones hidden in plain sight, and the ones deliberately coded to slip past teachers and staff. Reading them isn’t intuitive. It’s a skill you can learn.

Because the next concerning sign will surface long before the school year is over. It won’t wait for the right person to be in the room. In the moment you see it, you’ll either know how to help—or you won’t.
