When people feel connected, valued, and supported, they are more likely to seek help. When communities come together around a shared commitment to prevention, lives are saved.

September is World Su***de Prevention Month, a time to remember those who have died by su***de, and encourage us to spread awareness about su***de prevention. Su***de prevention touches every part of life – from families and schools to workplaces, faith communities, and health care systems.

Stronger Together: Connect. Support. Prevent.

In partnership with Concrete Farm to School Program, Concrete Resource Coalition and Glacier Peak Institute we hosted a group of local teens for a 10-day, outdoor-focused day camp ☀️.

Concrete Summer Leadership Adventure was a fun exploration of skills and confidence! We hiked, gardened, picked blueberries, conquered a bicycle skills course, planned and prepared meals, played games, created art and fresh flower bouquets. Campers also participated in several outdoor lessons with staff from Glacier Peak Institute.
