Long Island Crisis Center's 3rd Annual Suicide Awareness Walk in Long Beach

Long Island Crisis Center, serving the Nassau County community,  will hold its 3rd Annual “Let’s Walk, Let’s Talk…Stepping Together to Prevent Suicide” event this Sunday, September 18th on the Boardwalk at Riverside Blvd. in Long Beach.

Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults.

8 out of 10 people who commit suicide tell someone first.

While these are daunting statistics, Long Island Crisis Center, a 40 year-old agency, is dedicated to increasing suicide awareness, educating everyone about the warning signs of suicide, and de-stigmatizing the subject of suicide and spreading the word that “it’s okay to ask for help.”

On-site registration for the Walk begins at 11:00 a.m.  Online registration is taking place right now at www.longislandcrisiscenter.org or call 516-826-0244 for more information.  A minimum donation of $25 per person is suggested. 

Long Island Crisis Center is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) agency that operates 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week staffed, live hotlines that are anonymous and confidential.
