Showing & Guest Speaker @ Centre County Suicide Prevention & Awareness Day

I was honored to be invited to be a part of the Centre County Suicide Prevention and Awareness Day event held at the Lemont Granary on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2015. Some of my artwork was on display and I was a featured speaker discussing the power of art and healing.  I did an affirmation card creation activity with a large audience of 150 people.  The evening featured music, testimonials, and a special remembrance candlelight ceremony.  What a powerful and moving event it was!  The stories from the families and friends of those who committed suicide were truly touching.

The event was covered by the Daily Collegian – “Jana Marie Foundation partners with Active Minds, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention on Suicide Prevention Day” .Learn more about the Jana Marie Foundation and the incredibly important work they do for suicide prevention.
