Our affiliate participated in Ridgeview Behavioral Health annual 5K run on Sept 14. Toni Stephenson and Renatta Hass from Oak Ridge Anderson County NAMI were there!!!
All proceeds benefitted programming of Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services.
In order to create awareness and strengthen the fight against suicide, the entire month of September is Suicide Prevention Month. Participate in the fight by getting involved with local organizations like NAMI and Ridgeview and listening to those who need help.
Suicide Prevention Month helps to promote conversations around this subject. New to our 2024 event was an opportunity to participate while honoring those who we have lost to suicide. A remembrance was available for participants and volunteers to write a name, nickname, initials, &/or a message to someone paying witness to those we've lost. A fitting compliment to the event.
