When you’re not lost—when you’re safe—it’s harder to understand the urgency of needing to be found, needing to be rescued.
– Christine Caine, Undaunted
There is hidden pain behind some unassuming kids, and identifying it can be difficult. Sometimes the issue is hidden in plain sight. Reponses like—
- I said nothing’s wrong!
- I’m fine.
- I’m good!
During 2019, approximately one in five (18.8%) youths had seriously considered attempting suicide, one in six (15.7%) had made a suicide plan, one in 11 (8.9%) had made an attempt, and one in 40 (2.5%) had made a suicide attempt requiring medical treatment.
Don’t assume there is nothing wrong. Apply the three E’s!
- Engage kids in activities which require physically interactive participation.
- Empower kids to think, activate, and create solutions for issues around them.
- Enroll kids in Kamp—to support empathetic humanitarianism and purposeful living.
We must communicate and give them the strength to speak.
