A Call for 100 Schools
Attend to become one of the first DAVID Schools
The Campaign
Why 100 Schools
Students Talk to Students
Students often speak first to fellow students—not professionals. Peer presence is the first line of support.
Early Intervention Matters
Early support can prevent escalation into crisis. Timely peer connection saves lives and futures.
Scalable Solutions Needed
Schools need sustainable, culture-based solutions that grow with the community— not one-time programs.
Leadership Redefined
Leadership formation must now include empathy, listening, and mental health awareness as core competencies.
Empowering students, One School at a time.
