In honor of Awareness....

In light of the recent Virginia Tech tragedy and my efforts in pursuing a public health program for grad school, I'd like to direct this post to information on the Depression and Suicide Awareness Week hosted by Nuci's Space. It is a local organization here in Athens
created in honor of a former student who sadly lost his life during his battle with depression.

Unfortunately their Depression and Suicide Awareness Week ended last Friday, but hopefully those interested may find something in this site that speaks to them. After working with this organization for my PR class last year, I believe that they are truly an organization seeking to help those who suffer. Although they are more targeted to the music community, it is definitely worth noting their tactful approach to treatment for depression.
