This event will feature inspiring keynote speakers who have overcome personal battles, mental health professionals sharing vital resources, and interactive workshops aimed at providing attendees with practical tools to support themselves and others.
We’ll also hold a candlelight vigil to honor the lives lost to suicide and to express our collective commitment to mental wellness.
Whether you have been personally affected by suicide, are looking for ways to support loved ones, or simply want to be part of a community that cares, "Hope in the Darkness" is a space for all to come together, learn, and heal.
Let’s shine a light on this important issue and work together to create a future where no one feels alone in their darkest moments.
