The Lifelines Curriculum for students is part of a comprehensive suicide prevention program for schools that also includes
staff training, parent education, and guidelines for obtaining administrative buy-in. In addition to the prevention
program, there are also programs for intervention and postvention.
It is recommended that suicide awareness education be incorporated into a mental health learning unit in the natural
learning progression and not a standalone "initiative" that is not anchored in the regular curriculum.
Please Live, Inc. officially partners with the Mental Wellness Awareness Association (MWAA) to provide Youth Mental
Health First Aid training. As a component of the Please Live program, YMHFA training costs approximately $70/teacher.
However, through community grants, the program is frequently provided at reduced or no cost.
