Last week we held a panel discussion about suicide prevention in honor of suicide prevention month! The Proviso community has suffered from 7 youths lost to suicide. We thought it was important to hold a conversation between mental health advocates, Sarah of Yo Soy Ella, and Erika Luna and Erika Aguirre of Oasis Project Therapy. Hosted by Jasmine Lopez, our ED, and CEO of Mentally Mutual, we talked about suicide education, signs/risks for suicide, and how to create a community for those in need.
Thank you to all those who came to our discussion! Our recording will be posted on YouTube soon for those who could not attend.
