🕯 Thank You for Joining Us 🕯

Last night, our community came together for the 13th Annual Suicide Prevention Candlelight Vigil—a powerful evening of remembrance, healing, and hope.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, shared their light, and honored the memory of those we’ve lost to suicide. Your presence reminds us that no one is ever alone and that together, we can inspire hope and change. 💜

Special thanks to our community leaders, guest speakers, and volunteers who helped make this event possible.

Let’s continue the work beyond this vigil—by raising awareness, supporting one another, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.
