For All Seasons Educates the Community on Suicide Prevention
For All Seasons’ No Matter What…You Matter Suicide Prevention Campaign’s goal is to prevent suicide on Maryland’s Eastern Shore through education and increased access to crisis resources. In addition to the following community presentations and walks, the agency will distribute educational materials across the Mid-Shore to provide tips for how to support suicide prevention efforts. In Easton, the agency has erected street banners throughout the town. Staff will also be visiting all the Mid-Shore counties with proclamations for Suicide Prevention Month and partnering with Talbot County and Kent County Public Schools through the physical education departments to share information with middle and high school students on suicide prevention and other timely mental health topics.
