Join us in raising awareness of the need for Suicide Prevention at the Pennsylvania Capitol on September 21. A press conference will be held from 10:30 am- 11:30 am. Speakers will include several legislators and individuals representing veterans, students, family member survivors, and those who have attempted suicide. An empty shoe memorial will pay visual tribute to loved ones lost due to suicide and display tables will provide organizations with an opportunity to share suicide prevention materials. Representatives from various organizations will be at display tables to share information from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm.

Empty Shoe Memorial |
If you would like to donate shoes to this memorial, please bring them with you to the event. We suggest inserting a loved one's name on an index card into the shoes. You may either donate the shoes or take them back with you when you leave.
Bring a Friend!
We encourage you to coordinate carpools and bring lots of people to join in the event. If you plan to do so, please contact Heidi Bryan 610-715-0076 or pasp@feelingblue.org so we can keep track of the number of people expected.
Visit Your Legislator While at the capitol, visit your legislators and talk with them about the importance of support for suicide awareness and prevention efforts
