Suicide Warning Signs

Suicide can affect anyone, including children and youth. Take care of the young people you know. Recognize the warning signs. Sudden loss of interest in hobbies, a focus on death and dying, or feelings of hopelessness can be warning signs of suicidal ideation. School absenteeism, a drop in grades, or giving away possessions can also be indicators. Look out for changes in appetite or sleep patterns. Bottom line: if you sense a problem, get help.

 

Seek assistance at your local school or medical facility. Call CYS or Family Advocacy. Military Family Life Counselors or family pediatricians can help, too. Most importantly: don’t ignore the signs.

CYS Flag Football

Youth will develop and build fundamental skills such as running, receiving, passing, and defending. The best, and most important rule is there’s no contact allowed. Instead of tackling, players wear flags that hang by a belt. Once a ball carriers’ flag is removed, play stops and the ball is marked down. Each session will end with a scrimmage game.

Youth will develop new skills such as jumping, light tumbling, and stunts, while also building fundamental skills such as proper cheer hand motions.
