Walk scheduled for June 2

We are gearing up for our Walk Saturday, June 2, 2012. Thank you to all who participated last year! Consider walking with us, and taking pledges from your friends and family who won't be able to attend. Download a pledge form (pdf document requires Adobe® Reader).

This year's Walk will begin with registration at Darius Miller Park at 9:00 a.m., and will depart at 10:00 a.m. for Zearing Park. There we will once again enjoy refreshments, a gift raffle, presentations, and live music. Please thank our many supporters, sponsors and volunteers who, out of their dedication for our mission, generously supply their services. Download a registration form, and an announcement flier (pdf documents require Adobe® Reader).

The funds we've raised so far have been used to conduct several ASIST "first aid" intervention and safeTALK trainings in Princeton and Ottawa, to educate as many as possible in the community about how to recognize and respond to suicidal signals and tendencies. If you haven't attended one of these two-day trainings, please consider doing so; we will announce upcoming trainings on our Facebook page and on this web site, as well as with media announcements and fliers.

We are working toward attracting mental health care professionals into the community so that those at risk for suicide can be treated locally. We are also seeking to partner with organizations that have complementary objectives, and are dedicated to engaging the community to find ways to address the reasons that drive people to consider suicide.
