No Matter What. . . You Matter Campaign Targets Suicide Prevention in Chestertown<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (EASTON, MD \u2013 APRIL 24, 2018)<\/span><\/p>\n

CONTACT: BETH ANNE LANGRELL, 410-822-1018<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

For All Seasons is going to be bringing the campaign, NO MATTER WHAT . . . YOU MATTER,<\/i><\/b><\/span> to Chestertown, partnering with its business community and with Washington College to raise awareness around mental health and suicide prevention. Last fall, <\/span><\/span><\/a>the Campaign debuted in Easton in conjunction with Mental Health Awareness Week and was part of Easton\u2019s First Friday stroll through the local galleries and shops, partnering with <\/span><\/a>Easton Business Alliance. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Suicide Prevention Campaign was inspired by the soundtrack of the Tony Award winning Broadway musical, \u201cDear Evan Hansen.\u201d According to Beth Anne Langrell, Executive Director of For All Seasons, \u201cThe musical has created increased awareness about how prevalent suicide is in our nation. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), every 13 minutes someone dies by suicide and for every suicide, 25 suicide attempts are made.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For All Seasons hopes through this campaign to create an ongoing dialogue with agencies and educators in Chestertown about this growing issue in our communities.\u00a0 The campaign will include dialogue circles, educational outreach and community events.\u00a0 She adds, \u201cWe want people to know that no matter what, they matter.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

For All Seasons regularly partners<\/a> with National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Kent and Queen Anne\u2019s to provide services and training on mental health issues. Lainie Surette, NAMI Kent and Queen Anne\u2019s Steering Committee Chair, comments, \u201cNAMI Kent & Queen Anne\u2019s is eager to work with For All Seasons and Washington College to address the prevalence of mental health<\/a> challenges facing college students today. Providing education, support and needed services can reduce the stigma and encourage students to reach out for help. Suicide is not the answer. No one should feel alone.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah Feyerherm, EdD, Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students, Washington College, adds, \u201cPartnering with For All Seasons is just one more step we can take to support the mental health of our students and specifically to raise awareness about suicide. When we pool our resources we further a community of care on the Eastern Shore and bring about change in ways we could never do alone. As we continue to add programs and initiatives on our campus, we\u2019re excited to work hand in hand with For All Seasons on such a critical issue that impacts everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
