Statistically, 1,380 out of 100,000 men commit suicide every year.
Everyone participating will row a distance of at least 1 mile (so students can get CE credit) until we reach the goal of the 1,380 miles. It is designed to get people involved and spread awareness for mental health and suicide prevention, specifically focusing on men’s mental health. We have a sign-in sheet where we will tally each person's miles to track their participation.
Students must pre-register for the event by contacting Rev. Adam Roberts (aroberts@lagrange.edu).
There will also be pamphlets and brochures about mental health and suicide prevention with general information highlighting factors and statistics that contribute to mental health and suicide prevention, as well as information about our campus counseling services to inform and help our student population.
