That is really horrible. I'm glad there's a plan now, but it's sad that someone had to die for it to be put into place. I hope that more schools gain awareness especially in these days where things are getting darker and there's less hope in the world. A lot of times people want help they want the suffering to end but they don't have the resources to get that help. Awareness and being directed to where they can get help is fundamental to our mental health which affects our physical health. I hope though that this has given your family something to think about. Does your son know who he can go to if life overwhelms him or is depressed? These are good things to discuss with him now before being in crisis. Continue to reassure him since whenever something like this happens it affects everyone not just their close friends. I hope that you and your family recover safely from this shockwave that went through your lives.
