Speak Up, Lift Up

DATE: Saturday, September 28th
TIME: 10:30 a.m.
LOCATION: Group Fitness Room @ 24e Pelham

Join us in supporting Crisis Center of Birmingham this September for Suicide Prevention Month.

In 2022, a suicide occurred every 11 minutes in the U.S. It was the 11th leading cause of death in this country.

For every suicide completed, thousands more are attempted, and each of those attempts leaves a lasting impact, not only on that individual, but also on partners, friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.

Let’s end the stigma and taboo surrounding this epidemic. It’s okay to speak up and share your experiences, good and bad. It’s okay to reach out for help and support. Everyone is going through something, and we aren’t meant to take on life alone. Community is imperative to our survival.

Speak Up, Lift Up is a month-long fundraiser with a seminar to finish off the month supporting Crisis Center of Birmingham, a local organization that has invested in our city’s mental health since 1970 when they first opened their doors. They offer three specialized programs for our community; Crisis Intervention and Prevention Services, Sexual Assault Support Services, and Mental Health Services and Recovery Services.

We will have speakers from the Crisis Center out to talk about mental health, as well as having an open floor portion during which attendees can share their stories if they choose. We will end the seminar with an optional meditation.

During the month of September will have tickets for a charity sweepstakes available for every $5 donated, and a free entry for pre-registering and attending the day of the event!

One lucky attendee will win a gift basket of goodies—worth $400!
