Check Out This Event on September 15, 2023!
Event in Lancaster September 9, 2023 6pm
Join us for a luminary event in support of mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Luminaries will be available at no cost, to customize as you wish with stickers, markers, a photograph, etc.
Everyone has mental health, and 1 in 5 adults will suffer from a mental illness in their lifetime. In 2022, suicide was the 11th leading cause of death in the US. We are all affected by this, either personally, or by having a friend or family member battling a mental illness. Let’s gather together to spread the message of hope.
All are welcome. Come as you can. Brief ceremony will be held at 7:00 pm.
Check out this event! Free food! See you there!
September is Suicide Prevention Month!
