Recognize Jackson County Hope Squads.

This resolution formally recognizes 14 student-led Hope Squads across Jackson County middle and high schools, involving 203 student members trained in suicide prevention (QPR method) and peer support activities. It acknowledges their work fostering mental wellness through school-wide initiatives like "Hope Chains" and "Cultivating Calmness" events, following community efforts after a 2022 teen suicide. The resolution specifically commends the students, school advisors, and community partners (including Singing River Health System Foundation and local businesses) who supported the program. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws, funding, or policy changes.
