BE THE LIGHT WALK
As most of you know, because I talk about it often. Mental health is an important factor of my life, while I have my ups and downs. I try not to let my intrusive thoughts get to me like they have in the past. I have had many chances to take my own life, but I am here… and you are here and thats perfect! Be The Light Walk is group of likeminded people that are raising awareness on mental health and suicide prevention! All the details on this amazing event are below and I hope to see some homies at the walk this year!
The Brown County Coalition for Suicide Prevention was formed in 2006 in response to the alarming number of deaths by suicide in Brown County.
This dedicated group of survivors, professionals, and advocates in our community has since grown to more than 50 members and meets on a monthly basis.
Our group engages in suicide prevention strategies through grassroots efforts, which include suicide prevention training utilizing evidence-based programs like Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR); Signs of Suicide (SOS), HOPE Squad, and Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors (LOSS) Team.
Together, we are working towards the prevention of all suicides in Brown County and calling on the community at large to educate themselves about the warning signs of suicide and how they can help save a life.
