What Is Nac Safe Place? 

Safe Place is a collaboration of community agencies, schools, and law enforcement dedicated to the mental health and wellness of our community. The Safe Place is there to increase awareness about suicide as a public health problem that can be prevented.

Safe Place wants to reduce the stigma associated with suicide. Doing that will increase everyone's ability to seek help and prevent further loss of life.

This event is to raise awareness for Nac Safe Place and raise money for an office space to house this new organization. Find more resources about suicide prevention with texassuicideprevention.org/suicide-prevention the website for The Texas Suicide Prevention Collaborative.

Anyone can be affected by suicide. Come out and help raise awareness for this cause. CLICK HERE to register to be a part of the event.
