Virtual Mental Health Monday Suicide Prevention: Finding Purpose after Loss
Join us for an insightful discussion with Cheryl Acker Dodson, a dedicated mental health advocate who turned personal tragedy into a mission for suicide prevention. After losing a dear friend to suicide, Cheryl found solace and purpose in connecting with others who have faced similar losses. Her community art initiatives have fostered global connections, providing a creative outlet for healing and raising awareness. Cheryl’s work has touched lives worldwide, making her a beacon of hope and resilience in the fight against suicide. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear her powerful story and learn how art can transform grief into collective strength and support.
