Awareness & Prevention: Strengthening Minds, Protecting Lives

The 'Trinity Prevention' initiative demonstrates our commitment to addressing alcohol and drug abuse, preventing suicide, and promoting mental health awareness. We strive to raise awareness about suicide prevention by hosting engaging events that support marginalized youth.

The Trinity Educational Center, Inc. (TEC) program "I AM SOMEBODY" is an ongoing effort to support marginalized youth and young adults. TEC revised its prevention strategy after noticing a rise in suicide rates a few months ago, based on data from the Vermont Department of Health's Suicide Surveillance Dashboard. Additionally, TEC is deeply concerned after speaking with the South Burlington AD, who recently attended the funeral of one of our students who took their own life.

Furthermore, there has been a significant increase in the number of students trying electronic vapor products. TEC emphasizes empowering young people by equipping them to make informed choices and decisions about their health and well-being.
