Preventing Suicides Focus of Free Walk Sept. 27

A Suicide Prevention Walk is scheduled at Milligan Park on Saturday, Sept. 27.

The event is free of charge, and the first 100 individuals to arrive for 8:30 check-in will receive a free commemorative T-shirt.  Suicide prevention materials, memory beads, water and snacks are also provided free to participants. 

Local mental health agencies will  be present to make information available as well.

The walk will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude with a butterfly release, poignantly entwining loss and hope as the butterflies rise in the sky.
