Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide (SPTS)

SPTS is an organization dedicated to preventing and increasing awareness of suicide among young people aged 5-18. As the only organization solely focused on comprehensive youth suicide prevention, SPTS offers specialized training programs and mental health resources to empower teens, parents, school staff, and community members with the skills to help build a life of resiliency. At the event, Kyle Kalbach and another representative from SPTS had valuable interactions with attendees, raising awareness and providing resources for this vital cause.
