You Are Not Alone

 

This event is designed to educate the public about suicide and to encourage awareness of the mental health and suicide prevention resources available in the community.  

It will be held from 6 to 8pm on Wednesday, October 8th in Legacy Hall on the M State campus at 1414 College Way in Fergus Falls.

At 6pm, high schoolers from the Stephanie Goetz Foundation Student Board will present “Imagine Thriving.” Teens will learn from peers about mental health and ending the stigma of mental illness. Following the teen presentation, a panel discussion will be held with educators, clergy, first responders, Veterans agencies & mental health providers. They’ll open their tool boxes to communicate how to recognize potential crises, work with community agencies and promote health & wellness.  Each attendee will be given a “You Are Not Alone” Toolkit for quick reference of resources available for Emergency & Crisis, Continuing Care, Advocacy, Support Services and Web Resources.

Sponsors include Federated Church, Lake Region Healthcare, the Fergus Falls Area College Foundation, Federated Church of Fergus Falls and the Minnesota Conference United Church of Christ from the Ashley Endowment.
