September is suicide awareness month and Brevard Public Schools is partnering again with You Matter for the 3rd annual 'You Matter Day' on Saturday, September 21, 2024. This is a tremendous community event that brings heightened awareness to mental health and suicide. There will be a dunk tank, a scavenger hunt, food trucks, and more!
You Matter Day and the Do It For Hunter events are run by a group of volunteer moms, family, and friends who want to save lives. On their website they share, "It all started with our first meeting in the kitchen, deciding we need to do something. Suicide is a hard thing to talk about, but if we don’t talk about it, the statistics will continue to rise, we will continue to lose friends and family, and it won’t just “go away”."
