Kick-Off to Suicide & Mental Health Awareness Month
This is our first time doing an event like this, and we are very excited. The idea behind our event is to have open dialogue about mental health, provide support, and promote resources for those in need.
As many of you are aware, September is Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month. Many organizations already have events planned during the month of September and this would also help get the word out about these upcoming events and get any information out regarding the resources offered in our community. Our event will be Saturday, August 31, 2024. We plan to have a guest speakers at the Glockenspiel on Minnesota Street at 3:15 p.m. Then a short parade would follow down Minnesota Street and end at the Legion in New Ulm. Where groups will have a table set up with information about organizations, resources, and information. There will be a dinner option at The Legion starting at 5:00 p.m. Our mission is to kick off September which marks National Suicide Prevention Month and Mental Health Awareness Month - a month to remember the lives lost to suicide, the millions of people who have struggled with the suicidal ideation, and acknowledge the individuals, families, and communities that have been impacted.
