  • The support group for parents of children with mental health concerns.  We are just about ready to start the program.  Probably in February.  See attached poster.
  • West End Suicide Prevention is doing two winter events.  Both open for people across the UP.  First there will be a LIVE Snowman Contest.  People will have a chance to win $100 with this one.  People build a snowman, send a picture and then there will be voting on Facebook the week of February 7th.  The official rules can be found at glrc.org/snowmancontest .
  • Silent Snow Sports for Suicide Prevention is kind of like one of the 5K runs in the summer, but it is happening in the middle of winter.  🙂  And it is not a race.  And it is virtual.  And you can do anything from skiing to snowshoeing to snow biking to hiking to . . . any non-motorized winter sport.  Everyone who enters will receive a LIVE Face Mask.  (I have several different masks, the LIVE one is my favorite, most comfortable.) And then if you send in a picture of yourself taking part in the event, you will be entered into a drawing for one of many prizes.  You can register at:   www.runsignup.com/Race/MI/Ishpeming/WESP
