Sandy – Beehive Science and Technology Academy is proud to announce that with the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year, one of their students – Boden Dwyer has been selected to serve as President for the Hope Squad National Council! Boden was voted as president by the council members. Boden will be representing and connecting with over 6,000 Hope Squad students around the globe. He will plan, attend and even lead or present at several various conferences, seminars and training sessions.
The Hope Squad is a student group where all members are nominated by other students in the school. Those who are nominated to the Squad will spend time working with their school counselor on educating themselves regarding suicide and how to prevent it. Lessons will include everything from the red flag warning signs of suicide risk to self-care and other prevention methods.
The Hope Squad operates under the following mandate: “Our Goal is to prevent suicide through public awareness and education, reduce stigma and serve as a resource to those touched by suicide.”
Through their experiences with Hope Squad, members can assist students struggling, whether during a single bad day or with longer-running issues.
