School Outreach Visits — Meeting Students Where They Are

School Outreach Visits — Meeting Students Where They Are

Dare To Live begins its impact directly on campus. Through our School Outreach Visits, trained peer leaders, psychology students, and mental health professionals engage with middle schools, high schools, and colleges to start open, honest conversations about mental wellness and suicide prevention.Each visit includes:• Interactive Presentations that explain the cycle of suicide and how to recognize early warning signs.• Peer-Led Testimonies where trained youth share authentic stories of recovery, resilience, and hope.• Mini Circles & Activities that teach active listening, empathy, and safe communication.• Resource Connections linking students to counselors, crisis lines, and the Dare To Live Club Network. These visits transform mental health education from a lecture into a shared experience — reducing stigma, building empathy, and empowering students to seek help for themselves or support their peers.

Following school visits, campuses are invited to establish Dare To Live Clubs — student-led communities that turn awareness into action. Each club is guided by peer leaders and a faculty or counselor advisor, ensuring youth have ongoing support in a structured, safe environment.Club activities include: • Weekly healing circles focused on open, stigma-free dialogue.• Creative expression sessions using art, writing, and music as emotional outlets.• Monthly Breaking Bread lunches that promote connection and belonging.• Guest workshops with college psychology students and licensed counselors who share expertise and mentorship.
