The District #348 and WOVSED Social Work Team recently presented at Eagles FOE 3066's second annual Wings of Hope Suicide Prevention and Awareness Fundraiser event.
A panel discussion was held to raise community awareness about suicide warning signs, intervention strategies, and identifying both risk and protective factors. In addition, community resources were provided for the audience to help spread awareness of local resources.
The event successfully raised over $5,000 for the District #348 social work team. The funds will be used to buy educational materials for suicide prevention and awareness.
