In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, Health & Well-being Promotion is teaching our community how to talk about suicide. Stop by this table to learn how to ask someone whether they are having thoughts of ending their life and what language you can use when talking about suicide to reduce stigma. Once you show that you can ask the question, you'll get to walk away with a sweet treat (popsicles or fruit snacks).
