If any of your students are Native American, you could contact the tribe of those students.  They are willing to come talk to groups of non- native peoples as long as a tribal member is present and the tribal member may benefit from their services.  Contact the  tribe’s social service department, domestic violence or child welfare departments and see if they have someone who will come and speak with your small group.  They are usually free and have information about most of the resources available for those problems.   You should also look up the different domestic violence coalitions in the state to see if they have anyone who would be willing to come speak to your small group.

Contact Heartline, Inc. at 405-840-9396. Ask about the school-based Suicide etc. Prevention Program. I worked with Megan Rollins, School-Base Prevention Coordinator. Unsure if she is still there. The Program is great. There's a program for parents, staff, and students. They provide complete service including handouts, etc.
