STHS Behavioral's Chalk the Walk Event

STHS Behavioral will be hosting it’s fourth annual Chalk The Walk: Hope & Inspiration Walk next Saturday, September 13 and we’re hoping you can help us get the word out about this special event in commemoration of suicide prevention awareness month.

Suicide is a serious public health problem. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a person commits suicide every 11 minutes in the United States, making it a leading cause of death in this country – especially among teens and young adults.

On September 13, South Texas Health System® Behavioral invites you to help shine a light on suicide prevention by writing messages of hope along our Chalk the Walk route. This special awareness walk and You’re Not Alone fair will highlight local organizations and resources available to help with behavioral health and wellness concerns.
