Suicide Prevention Month brings Youth Motivational Speaker to Sharyland ISD

 Jeff Yalden said in 23 years he's never come across a school district as incredible as that of Sharyland ISD. 

Jeff Yalden is a suicide prevention and teen mental health expert working with school districts all over the world. He's visiting Sharyland ISD for two days to speak at the two high schools, two junior high schools, teachers and staff on suicide prevention, and parents and community. 

When Jeff walked into Sharyland High School he was amazed at how beautiful the building was. Then, he was amazed at all the college banners that lined the halls. He said, "So subtle, yet so powerful!"  His presentation was met with a lot of media, great students, and very excited teachers. His one hour and twenty minute talk was incredible. He said the audience was well behaved and respectful. "You could hear a pin drop!" said one teacher. 

In the afternoon, Jeff visited Sharyland North Junior High Dchool and his testimonies were the same of that of Sharyland High School. 

In the later afternoon, after the suicide prevention presentation, Jeff asked district superintendent, "Will the kids tomorrow be half as awesome as today's kids?"

The superintendent replied, "We have amazing kids, Jeff!"

"Yes you do! You have amazing people running your schools too!", said Jeff.
