Breaking the Silence: a powerful student-led mental health event set for World Suicide Prevention Day
On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, the community is invited to attend Breaking the Silence: Breaking the Stigma, a powerful student-led event held in honor of World Suicide Prevention Day, presented by local organizations- the Behavioral Health & Suicide Prevention (BHSP) Taskforce, and Cassidy Joined for Hope.
The event, hosted at Woodlands Church, will begin at 5:30 PM with a Resource Vendor Fair and light refreshments, followed by a main presentation at 6:30 PM featuring national keynote speaker- Nathan Harmon, a local mental health professional who will present the risk factors and statistics we’re facing today, and a panel of students sharing personal stories and insights into the realities of teen mental health.
“We’re not just talking about awareness—we’re creating a place for our students to express their needs and have meaningful discussion,” says Kim Hess of Cassidy Joined for Hope. “We want teens to feel heard, supported, and reminded that they’re not alone.”
The event is free and open to the public, with mental health counselors available onsite for anyone needing support. The night will also include opportunities for attendees to engage with local organizations offering resources for youth and families.
