Suicide Awareness and Prevention Parent Night Scheduled for November 17

Quincy Partnership for Youth (QPY) and the Quincy School District are partnering to host a Suicide Awareness and Prevention Parent Night on Tuesday, November 17, from 6:00 to 7:15 p.m. at Quincy Middle School.

The event will provide parents and caregivers with information on recognizing signs of depression and emotional distress in teenagers, starting conversations with teens who may be struggling, and finding local mental health resources. The goal is to help families feel better prepared to recognize warning signs and support young people through difficult situations.

Presentations will be available in both English and Spanish, with free childcare and light refreshments provided. Childcare check-in begins at 5:45 p.m. Parents and caregivers throughout the community are encouraged to attend.
