What is LifeSavers?

LifeSavers is a peer-support suicide and crisis-prevention program designed to help teenagers cope with the challenges of drugs and alcohol, peer and family relationships, academic problems, aggression, anxiety, and suicide.

​

It is based on the knowledge that students in crisis will talk to other teens before they turn to a counselor or other adult. Students are trained to be active listeners, recognize danger signs, and know how to refer students to professional help when it's called for.
