Aevidum empowers youth to shatter the silence surrounding depression, suicide, and other youth issues. The word Aevidum means “I’ve got your back,” and was created by Cocalico High School students after a classmate died by suicide. Aevidum inspires schools and communities to adopt cultures of care and advocacy. Aevidum exists in elementary, middle, and high schools and colleges throughout Pennsylvania and beyond. The student driven initiative provides students with a platform to unite their voices and talents to create change and save lives. Aevidum reaches students, teachers, and administrators through its club program, its elementary, middle, and high school curricula, and its student-led Talk workshops.
