MJHS started the Hope Squad this year. The mission statement of Hope Squad is to reduce the number of youth suicides in the state of Utah by providing education, training, and expertise in suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention.

 

Last Wednesday the Hope Squad members attended their training at Shadow Mountain. The mountains were beautiful and the time was well spent! Dr. Greg Hudnall was our guest speaker and he talked about the role and importance Hope Squads have all across the state of Utah. He motivated and got us excited about our newly formed Hope Squad.

 

Mr. Jex did a great job with activities and team building exercises to help us get to know each other better and start working towards the goals we would like to meet as we go throughout the year.

 

The students created posters to help promote the Hope Squad so watch for them in the hallways and let a Hope Squad member know if you need help with anything!
