Roz Allen from the Charlotte County Suicide Prevention Committee tells Tide News they felt compelled to do something in response to events that have been happening the last few months in our area.
Allen says the purpose of the campaign is about encouraging people in distress to reach out and get help, as well as educating the public on recognizing the warning signs of suicide.
She says the campaign will run until November 30th.
Allen will be hosting free "SafeTalk" information sessions for the public. The first session will be held tonight ( November 19th ) in St. Stephen at the Education Centre on School Street (formerly known as the old District 10 building), tomorrow night in St. Andrews ( November 20th ) at NBCC, and in St. George on November 27th at the Magaguadavic Centre.
All talks are from 6pm-8:30pm. For more information or to register call 755-4044.
