The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has created posters that employ a little gentle humor to convey important messages about the resources available to help young people who may be feeling anxious, sad, overwhelmed, or depressed.
There are nine posters in all, which may be downloaded here in a single PDF.
Educators: These are a great classroom resource!
