7:00 p.m. til 9:00 p.m.
Suicide is a subject that we find difficult to discuss. Many of us have been touched by the tragedy of having someone take their own life. Whether it is a close friend, a relative, or a co-worker, suicide can cause great pain to all those affected. Who better to help than those of us who are a part of a person’s daily life? Noticing a change in their attitude, their personal appearance, or their habits can be a signal of distress or anxiety.
We believe that those who take their own lives do so because they have lost hope. We are asking that you join us to give hope to those hurting silently. Each of us can listen when someone needs to talk and offer the help so important to their survival. We believe that we can do better by helping to erase the stigma of asking for help, by reaching out to those in need, and by encouraging the silent ones to ask for assistance.
Come join us for this informative program to discuss the issue and to prepare participants for being there for someone. We must be more proactive and help those hurting so badly. If not you, then who will do it?
This program is open to all first responders, family members, friends and members of the community. Register at the door and the program is free.
Being brought to you by a collaborative effort of the following:
