APTOS HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ARE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS AFTER THE RECENT SUICIDES OF TWO STUDENTS. SINCE THE DEATHS, APTOS HIGH HAS BROADENED WELLNESS PROGRAMS AND HAS DEVELOPED SUICIDE INTERVENTION TOOLS. ADDITIONALLY STUDENTS HAVE CREATED PEER SUPPORT CLUBS INCLUDING BE THE CHANGE, RISE ABOVE, AND THE BRIDGE PROJECT. THE SCHOOL IS ENCOURAGING TEENS TO SPEAK UP IF THEY THINK A CLASSMATE NEEDS SUPPORT.
