Special suicide awareness and prevention exhibit will be hosted at MJC at the East Campus Quad from 9:00 AM– 4:00 PM on Thursday April 4. Make sure to stop by the exhibit as the stigma that surrounds mental illness is the reason why many students don’t seek the help they need. Send Silence Packing® is an acclaimed exhibit that has traveled the country to end the silence that surrounds mental illness and suicide. The emotionally powerful display includes personal stories from individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide, and is designed to raise awareness about the impact of suicide, connect individuals to mental health resources, and inspire action for suicide prevention. Passersby are invited to walk among the Send Silence Packing backpacks to see the photographs and read the stories attached to them. Many of the backpacks were donated by families who lost a student to suicide.
