It takes all of us to prevent suicide. That’s the message we carried forward at our Suicide Prevention and Awareness SUMMIT in Wilson on September 27. We heard powerful accounts from professionals on the front lines. Lizzie Yates, Barton College's campus counselor, described her own mental health journey like this: "I was drowning in a frozen lake. Every time I tried to resurface and get out, the surface would refreeze.” But when she started talking about her experience, she realized she wasn’t alone. Honest and open communication was emphasized throughout the event as a life-saving tool. Keynote speakers Yvette Richardson and Ashley Gardner challenged the audience to rethink how we communicate about mental health. Are we truly connecting or going through the motions? Together, we can prevent suicide and offer support when it matters most. Thank you to all who joined us at Barton College!
