At one point or another, we have all gone through a difficult time. It is important to remember that you never have to struggle alone. This website provides information regarding mental health, hotlines, strategies that can be used to stay positive, and support for those going through challenging times. At LSHS, we want to help students recognize the signs of suicidal behavior and mental illness and to promote a culture of understanding and hope.
