The goal of the CREW program is to facilitate relationship-building, self-worth, and problem-solving skills while developing an understanding of suicide prevention and awareness. Students will be guided through a 20-week curriculum designed to increase knowledge of suicide. Students are exposed to real life situations pertaining to suicide related topics. Each meeting is designed to empower the CREW to openly discuss suicide and provide them with the necessary tools to educate others.
