MedfieldCSP hosts viewing "Suicide: The Ripple Effect"...

Please join the Medfield Coalition for Suicide Prevention on Wednesday, September 26th at Medfield High School, 7pm-9:30pm to view a screening of "Suicide: The Riffle Effect" and join in a panel discussion.

The film chronicles the story of Kevin Hines, who at age 19 attempted to take his life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. Since then Kevin has been on a mission to use his story to help others find
recovery and stay alive, and has become the worlds most prominent suicide prevention speaker and advocate. The film also features some of the world’s leading suicide prevention experts and shines light on people who are using personal experiences with suicide to help others find the hope they need to stay alive.

We hope that bringing people together to view this film and discuss the topic will have a positive impact on reducing the number of suicides and suicide attempts in our community. Viewers will be able to submit
questions to our panelists from Interface, Riverside Trauma Center, Samaritans and Medfield Youth Outreach.

Across the globe, nearly 1 million people die annually by suicide. In the United States alone there are one million suicide attempts in a given year and over 44,000 deaths by suicide, with our military being hit
particularly hard. Research has shown that for every one death by suicide, over 115 people are directly affected and impacted.

With your support in attending the event and/or sharing the event with your family, friends and colleagues, we can draw more attention to this devastating health crisis, while helping more people find the support
they need to #BeHereTomorrow.
