DOWNINGTOWN, Pa., Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SAVE (Suicide
Awareness Voices of Education), West Pharmaceutical Services, and
DCEF (Downingtown Community Education Foundation) to host a suicide
prevention and awareness night in Downingtown, PA.
With deaths by suicide increasing and mental health challenges
facing our community, education and awareness of these topics is
critical to save lives. There are approximately 39 suicides in
Downingtown each year and hundreds
of other community members who think about suicide and attempt to
take their life. "The data is clear and the impact of mental health
and suicide on their community is real" said suicide prevention
expert Dr. Dan Reidenberg of SAVE.
"This is why we need to bring more awareness to students, parents,
teachers and everyone in our community on how to help prevent
suicide," Reidenberg said.
Let's Talk About It!™ is a free event open to anyone. It will
include a local community resource fair, meal, keynote address from
an international expert in suicide prevention, as well as local
youth and adults who will talk on panel discussions about mental
health and suicide prevention in our community.
