Friday is World Suicide Prevention Day, and Dauphin’s Mental Wellness and Suicide Prevention Committee is hosting a community walk.
Eleanor Snitka, who’s on the committee, says that this will be a good day to raise awareness and talk about mental health.
“I think especially in these times of COVID, people are feeling isolated as it and for many people who have their own mental health distress and they might feel isolated at the best of times, now it’s even worse.”
The walk starts at Vermillion Park at 10:30 a.m. on Friday.
“We’re going to end up at the Dauphin HERO Club, they’ve agreed to open up their hotdog cart on that day, and we’re going to give people a hotdog and bottle of water when they’re finished their walk.”
Participants of the walk are invited to share their stories of loss or of recovery.
