By the time they are considering suicide, students need much more help than they can get from a software program. The goal of this prevention program is to prompt disclosure, giving potential victims a clear message to ask for help, and pointing them to community resources where they can find it. Reaching Peers Equally important, this program teaches students to recognize signs of suicidal inclination in their peers, so that they can seek help for their friends. Statistically, peers provide the most help in preventing suicide. Perhaps the most important use of Ripple Effects software in preventing suicide is addressing the whole range of issues that lead students to lose hope in the first place, including sexual abuse, sexual identity issues, and domestic violence. Best Practices The three general skill building areas that are consistent with known effective treatments for depression are: connecting to community, managing feelings, and knowing yourself. A good exercise program has also been shown effective as therapy in alleviating depression. A special feature of Ripple Effects for Teens is a personalized sports and exercise profile, based on answers to an interactive quiz. Relate offers no fewer than eight modes of learning for each of these topics. Alcoholic
