These times are challenging and coming together, expressing what is real for us, and finding inspiration are key points of what keeps us growing onward and upward. These will be the focuses of our Wednesday evening event on December 16th from 6-8pm AKST.
The evening is going to kick off with a 20-minute message of hope and presentation by our newest team member, Kikkan Randall, an inspirational Alaskan figure who has been through a lot and accomplished amazing feats in her Olympic career and beyond!
We will then stream our digital copy of “We Breathe Again”, an incredibly powerful 58-minute documentary following the lives of four Alaskan Natives and how suicide has impacted their lives and how they have risen above.
Our Board Member and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Eileen Davey, will then bring some closing thoughts on the film and transition into her own message of hope. Eileen is an incredible human with a huge heart and has spent much of her career focusing on suicide prevention and aiding those with overcoming suicidal thoughts.
It is so important we work with what we have got and come together in any way we can to speak about, be real about, and work through these challenging times! So join Wednesday night for just that! We are so grateful to be partnered with United Way of Mat-Su to be putting together 2 virtual events this month and a handful of small in-person events for vulnerable populations! Our goal is to aid anyone who might be struggling with suicidal thoughts in our community to – See Another Way.
