According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "September is National Suicide Prevention Month – a time to remember the lives lost to suicide, acknowledge the millions more who have experienced suicidal thoughts, and the many individuals, families and communities that have been impacted by suicide. It’s also a time to raise awareness about suicide prevention and share messages of hope."
Teens are invited to join Chinatown Service Center for a suicide prevention workshop using Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) on Thursday, September 12, at 4:30 p.m. in the Friends Room. On Thursday, September 26, at 4:30 p.m. in the Friends Room, teens will create self-care kits to help manage stress. Supplies are available on a first-come, first-served basis. No registration is required. For more information about this program, call Teen Services at (626) 307-1368.
