The 10.3.2022 Mental Health Awareness Day event in Fall River, Massachusetts, focused on raising awareness, breaking stigma, and honoring individuals dedicated to mental health support. The evening began with an opening prayer by Pastor Lisa Mello, who shared her experience as a mental health nurse and emphasized the growing comfort people have in seeking help. Darcy Lee, Director of Samaritan's South Coast, presented sobering statistics on suicide and drug overdoses, highlighting that suicide was the second leading cause of death for young people aged 10-14 and 25-34 in 2020. She detailed the services of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (now 988), which answered almost 14,000 calls in Bristol and Norfolk counties in 2021, and introduced a new "warm handoff" service to emergency mobile providers.
