Flock Block with the Counselors
Seniors gathered in gender-specific groups with counselors to discuss, brainstorm, and contemplate many aspects of healthy relationships. Counselors were both impressed and appreciative of the maturity and cooperation the groups exhibited.

Wellness Tip
American Foundation of Suicide Prevention’s Talk Away the Dark Campaign is packed with helpful tools, tips, and suggestions for both the helper and the individual who may need support.
Excerpts from an article by Lora Lewis – Radio Columnist from 97.5 Philadelphia
AFSP research shows suicide is preventable if we work together. Since their public education program “Talk Saves Lives” launched in 2015, it has reached nearly 150,000 people across all 50 states with science-informed education about suicide and how we can all help prevent it. It can be as simple as reaching out to a friend.
Suicide is a topic that often hides in the shadows. In the dark. Many with depression or other mental health conditions that are unaddressed could lead to suicide and may feel ashamed or hesitant to ask for help. We can all make a difference. Learn the warning signs, know the risk factors and if you sense someone is struggling, be brave and talk to them. A few kind words can make a difference in connecting someone to help.
