Rockwall teen suicide prevention foundation Hanna 4 Hope made a visit to SSISD schools on October 24 to educate school staff on how to spot depression in their students
 
According to the presentation given by director Dr. Karla Hutcherson, M. Ed, counselor, suicide is the leading cause of death in ages 10-24 and has increased in recent years. Sixty percent of teens know someone who will attempt suicide, and major depression is the most common illness that ends in suicide. 
 
“Show that you care and take suicide seriously,” the foundation urged.
