The 'Please Stay' program was developed in part by Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation.
Chicago Public Schools on Tuesday announced the launch of a mental health and suicide prevention campaign that encourages students in seventh through 12th grade to take a pledge to stay alive and seek help if they need it.
CPS said staff members, including school counselors, will discuss the “Please Stay” campaign, self-care habits and mental health resources and screen a three-minute in classes. The district said it shared campaign materials — including a teacher/counselor’s guide, pledge cards and digital resources — with schools last week as May is Mental Health Awareness Month.CPS said 38% of its students have reported feeling depressed and 17% have seriously considered suicide, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System.
Beyond this campaign, the district said it is expanding its behavioral health team model, developed and implemented with Lurie Children’s Hospital, from more than 200 schools to all of its 500-plus district-run schools for the coming school year. CPS said its goal is to have one of these teams, which are tasked with identifying students with behavioral health needs and connecting them with interventions, in every CPS school by the 2023-24 school year.
