It took 3 years to get passed
…but it's law now!
On June 4, 2010, Governor Crist signed into law The Suicide
Prevention Education Bill [SB0434 & HB1061]!
Suncoast Yellow Ribbon thanks Senator Sobel and Representative Heller
for their sponsorship and everyone that worked so hard over the years to
get this finally on the books for our schools.

Teen Suicide in Florida
The latest figures from the
Centers for Disease
Control reveal that, in the United States, 1,718
youths, ages 13 to 19, ended their lives by suicide in 2006. Florida reported 72
of those suicides. This was 27% fewer deaths than than Florida's 17-year high of
99 suicides in 2005. Nation-wide, suicide is the third leading cause of death
among teens (accidents were the leading cause followed by
homicides); Florida is no exception. - SYR 05/14/10 |
