The program A Promise for Tomorrow” presents a positive look at how students can help friends who may be depressed or having suicidal thoughts. Research tells us that four out of five people considering suicide give some sign of their intentions, either verbally or behaviorally. This curriculum aims to provide information and strategies needed to be a lifesaving influence. The 2022 revision is based on a two-lesson format (instead of a 3-5 lesson format) for the traditional high school schedule of 50-to-60-minute classes. These can be presented as two separate lessons or back-to-back to accommodate an extended block class of 90 minutes or longer. The curriculum content is available via DVD or streaming (instead of entirely teacher-led) with facilitator-led sections to reiterate information and lead discussion. Each lesson provides a script for the facilitator to introduce sections and facilitate discussion. Lesson One presents Facts, Myths, Risk Factors, and Warning Signs with discussion questions interspersed. Lesson Two features a series of short vignettes showcasing issues that young people face. They are intended to springboard discussion when the students are separated into smaller groups. Learn more about the Promise For Tomorrow Curriculum here.
