Suicide Prevention Week Gathering and Vigil
The Suicide Prevention Week Gathering and Vigil on 9/7 is an opportunity for any and every community member to come together to build suicide awareness and mental well-being. From 5-7pm, we will have a large mental health resource expo with over 40 organizations, nonprofits, and related groups sharing resources, information, and free stuff. We will also have live music by the mental-health youth band Zero Reasons, along with food, t-shirts and tank tops, art activities, a healing and remembrance space, therapy dogs, henna tattoos and more. Everything is completely free at this event, there is no payment asked for anything. From 7-8pm, the event shifts to the courtyard (with evaporative coolers to keep everyone cool) for a full vigil program. This is a candlelight vigil, with speakers, music and an all-embracing community prayer, to remember those we have lost to suicide. It is a safe space for many to come together to support and heal when they otherwise may have felt shamed or stigmatized by their tremendous losses.
