Local and global suicide prevention resources are pouring in for the Faces After Suicide art exhibit! I’m over the moon 🤗 Anyone attending the exhibit will not only see that suicide does not discriminate, but viewers will be able to take away resources and know where to find help wherever they might be. Exhibit opens to the public August 3rd-September 28th at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center.

After my husband ended his life I was completely devastated and felt as if I was torn into pieces that could never be put back together. How could life go on? The emotional pain he ended was unknowingly passed onto me. I knew I needed help quickly. I joined a support group called SASS (Suicide Awareness Survivor Support) who supports the ones left behind after a loved one's suicide and also helps raise mental health awareness. I will never get over my husband's death, but I now know that I can get through it, thanks to SASS. I sweep nothing under the rug. By starting an open and honest conversation I hope to help break down the stigmas and start raising mental health awareness. Together we can stay above the rug!
