 A Suicide Prevention and Awareness Walk is being held in the Pikeville City Park on Saturday, September 9th. September 1st starts Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month, and we wanted to get some awareness and prevention for our students on campus, but also for the community. According to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States. With suicide rates steadily on the rise, the hope for the walk is to start a movement to end suicide. If you've lost someone, bring a picture, we've got candles, we're really getting the word out, but we want all different groups, populations, we've got a veterans group coming, we've got a mental health center coming, we just want to get the word out to as many people as we can. For more information about the walk, you can visit the Suicide Prevention and Awareness Walk Facebook event page. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsea Dean.
