Students from MHS attended the 3rd annual Speak Up Stand Up Save a Life conference held at Grand Canyon University. During the conference, students:
* heard from the Maricopa County District Attorney, Bill Montgomery
* listened to the reading of the Speak Up Stand Up Save a Life Proclamation signed by cities promising to support youth at risk
* watched a play performed by Cre8tive Theatre Troupe highlighting negative forces and problems students face
* heard from keynote speaker Jeremy Anderson on speaking up and standing up to save a life
* facilitated breakout sessions discussing negative forces faced and possible resources available for help
* heard from Girl's Rule, Denna Patton
Students were amazing facilitators during this event and mature participants. Our students experienced the opportunity to participate in a grassroots movement that strives to eradicate adolescent self-harm ideation and behaviors.
