Description

Tennessee Won't Be Silent is our push to reach a majority of citizens in Tennessee with the positive message that suicide is preventable and enable those citizens to reach out for help for their loved ones and friends. Ultimately, as more people reach out for help, and more resources are available, we should begin to see a reduction of rates of suicide in Tennessee. Together we can challenge everyone to raise the conversation about the "silent epidemic" of suicide. Registration begins at 5:30, program begins promptly at 6. Plenty of free parking right off the square. Join us for a casual evening of networking and awareness. Visit with local resources and staff from the Jason Foundation and Pinewood Springs, while enjoying complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres.
