Yellow Ribbon Suicide
Prevention Program@
"Yellow for Awareness
and Prevention,
Heart for Survivors"
The Light for Life Foundation of Southern California was established in 1997 as a regional
chapter of the Light for Life Foundation, International, after the suicide of a fourteen year-old
North San Diego County high school student. The founding board members include the teen's
parents, minister, neighbors and friends. The original Board of Directors has been joined by
other dedicated members whose lives have been touched by suicide.
Most people are surprised to learn that suicide is the third leading cause of death of young
people ages 15-24. From 1995-2004, San Diego County has experienced 138 youth suicides
between these ages. October, 2006 marks our foundation's 9th anniversary of working to
save lives in San Diego County. During that time we have distributed nearly 470,000 Yellow
Ribbon Lifeline Cards and have provided comprehensive suicide prevention education for
over 138,000 middle/high school staff, students and parents. In addition we provide suicide
prevention presentations and training for colleges, health classes, after-school programs,
parent organizations, civic groups, service clubs, health & wellness fairs and community based
,
organizations.
The Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program@strengthensthe bonds between young
people and the trusted adults in their lives and forms a support network of parents, school,
. and the community-at-Iarge. learning the symptoms, warning signs and risk factors for
suicide and depression can help us to intervene before a crisis may occur! The Yellow Ribbon
Suicide Prevention Program@ is NOT a treatment program. It is an OUTREACH program that
provides a LINK for those in need to experts who can diagnose and properly treat the problem.
Countless youth are using our program to save themselves, their friends and their loved ones.
Please join us in our efforts to save lives by sharing our message: "It's OK to Ask 4 Help!"@

Teacher and Student Comments
"Vou came to my school yesterday and I thought it was really
wonderful that you care so much about us teenagers. Thank you for
teiling us it is okay to ask for help and thank you for saving our lives."
Vista High School
"My students have learned to take all threats of suicide seriously and
have a heightened awareness of the warning signs of depression."
Olive Peirce Middle School
"I just had the BEST discussion In my tenth grade English class.
Talking about suicide Is very tough... but if a teenager REALLY thinks
his/her teacher cares about his/her weil-being, I truly believe changes
can occur." Chula Vista High School
"I learned that you are not alone, that people are there for us and that
there is more help than I thought." Hoover High School
It's OK to Talk to Kids About Suicide
"Asking teenagers about suicide doesn't seem to make them more
likely to contemplate it, as some parents and school officials fear.
A new study has found that asking troubled students about any such
Impulses appears to ease their distress and might make some of them
less likely to try suicide. Results should alleviate fears that Just men-
tioning suicide might plant the idea in a teen's mind." April 6, 2005,
Risk of Youth Suicide Screening Programs, Journal of the Amer. Medical Assoc.
