“Latina adolescent su***de has reached epidemic proportions in New York State with su***de the second leading cause of death for Latina teens.
As one of the many supports the Poughkeepsie City School District offers to its high needs students, district leadership recently committed to partnering with Comunilife to implement its Life is Precious (LIP) Program to address the needs of the district’s middle and high school Latina population.

Opinion | Why Are Young Americans Killing Themselves? Su***de is now their second-leading cause of death.

The Crisis in Youth Su***de Too often, su***de attempts and deaths by su***de, especially among the young, become family secrets that are not investigated and dealt with in ways that might protect others from a similar fate.

Thank you to Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz NY for visiting with the teens in our Queens Life is Precious program. It was a day they will not forget!

Today, at the NYS Su***de Prevention Conference in Albany, Assemblywoman Nathalia Fernandez discussed how volunteering at our Life is Precious program influenced the work she does today. Thank you for always remembering the at-risk Latina teens LIP serves. ***depreventionmonth
