"It's natural for adolescents to turn to each other in times of stress or crisis," Kacy Howard says.

"This new approach will help to ensure that these kids have the tools, education, and support they need to safely support each other and to know when to get an adult involved."

Howard is the outgoing executive director of the Nate Chute Foundation, which has received a $30,000 grant from the Whitefish Community Foundation to expand its peer-to-peer mental health and suicide prevention training in Montana's public schools, the Missoulian reports.

The foundation plans to connect and educate high school students who are participating in established clubs to support their peers in times of crisis.

"By highlighting the youth voice in these new programs, we look forward to helping cultivate a generation of empowered youth advocates for mental wellness and suicide prevention," Howard says.

The Nate Chute Foundation is dedicated to promoting mental wellness and reducing suicide by offering evidence-based training and education to area schools, organizations, and communities to help build resiliency and identify and intervene with suicidal behavior.

The organization also aims to increase access to mental health support by providing financial assistance for professional counseling to those struggling with mental health challenges.
