Suicide Prevention Summit for Men: A Relaxed Dialogue on Serious Topics
Hammons Field in Springfield is set to host a free suicide prevention summit for men, addressing the above-average male suicide rate in the area. Organized by Nia Howard, the event aims to create a safe space for men to open up and seek help without judgement. The goal is to break down societal stigmas surrounding mental health and suicide, and encourage a relaxed dialogue on serious topics.
The summit will include open discussions about suicide prevention, brain science exercises, and activities to encourage a relaxed dialogue on serious topics. Attendees can participate in an on-field warm-up led by Louie, the Springfield Cardinals mascot, enjoy coffee and donuts, enter prize raffles, engage in brain science exercises, and have the opportunity to play catch and take swings on Hammons Field. Former professional baseball player Drew Robinson will share his own mental health journey following a survived suicide attempt.
The event starts at 8 a.m. on Saturday and will conclude at 12:45 p.m. Registration is required to attend the event. For more information and to register, visit the provided link. If you have any corrections or typos, please contact digitalnews@ky3.com. Copyright 2024 KY3. All rights reserved
