Strike Down Stigma: Suicide Awareness Month

This September, in Honor of Suicide Awareness Month, Rise and Restore hosted the Strike Down Stigma bowling event. A powerful evening dedicated to breaking the silence around mental health and fostering community support. The even bought together friends, families and advocates in a fun engaging environment while shining a light on an important cause. The attendees enjoyed an evening of friendly competition and laughter, using bowling as a metaphore for "Striking Down" stigma surrounding mental health and suicide. The event provided a safe space for conversation, reflection and connection. The evening reminded us that we can break barriers, support each other and create a culture of understanding around mental health.
