Lenape Valley Foundation Memorializes Those Lost to Suicide
As part of Lenape Valley Foundation’s agency-wide suicide prevention program, a candlelight vigil was held on Tuesday, September 8 in the courtyard at the Bucks County Courthouse. Held annually, the candlelight vigil for suicide prevention memorialized the victims of suicide, offered support for family members and friends touched by suicide and offer hope for the future.
The vigil took place during National Suicide Prevention Week, which is Sept. 6 – 12, and is an annual campaign in the United States geared toward informing and engaging the general public about suicide prevention and the warning signs associated with suicide. The campaign aims to reduce the stigma surrounding the topic of suicide and encourages the pursuit of mental health assistance, while also offering support and resources to those who have attempted suicide.
