Western Walk of Life wins program of the year from TWLOHA
This award is designed to recognize creativity and innovation in chapter鈥 programs and events. The event that stood out the most to us this year was a remembrance walk called 鈥淭he Walk of Life鈥 held at Western Washington University. The event started in a lecture hall where videos about the importance of suicide education and prevention were shown. Faculty and students who were personally affected by suicide shared their testimonies, and both the Counseling Center and Prevention and Wellness Center presented resources. Following this presentation, participants walked the campus together, stopping at reflection points along the way. Finally, the Dean of Students and the University President shared their stories and spoke about more resources available.
