BLACK SUICIDE AWARENESS &
REMEMBRANCE VIGIL
September 10th is worldwide suicide prevention day. Join us as we lift up Black lives lost to suicide.
WHY HOST A BLACK SUICIDE VIGIL?
Holding a vigil draws attention to the often overlooked issue of suicide within the African American community.
The vigil provides an opportunity to remember and honor the lives of those lost to suicide.
Holding a vigil can bring attention to disparities and the need for equitable mental health resources and support for Black people.
A vigil can serve as a platform for advocacy and education on suicide prevention and mental health.
