The Simi Valley Youth Council invites you to join them from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., on Thursday, September 20, 2018, for a Rock Painting Night! This free event is part of the Youth Council’s 2018 Suicide Prevention campaign. They looked for a creative way to spread positive messages of hope and help to those that may be in crisis. Thank you to the @simivalleyrocks Facebook group for the inspiration!
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10-24. Suicide is a tragic reaction to severe distress or feelings of hopelessness in one's life. Thoughts of suicide do not necessarily mean that you want to die. Instead they mean that you have more pain than you can cope with right now. The pain of deep depression is intense, and can be too much to bear for long periods of time. However, suicidal thoughts do not have to become suicidal actions.
It's important to know that suicide can be preventable. Whether you are considering ending your life, or know someone who feels suicidal, learn to recognize the warning signs and how to get immediate help. You may save a life – your own or someone else's.
Together we can make a difference.
If you or a loved are hurting, there is help out there.
For immediate help, call 911.
The Ventura County Suicide Hotline also has trained, caring staff waiting for you to reach out to them at (877) 727-4747.
or call the Ventura County Crisis Team at (866) 998-2243.
