I had the pleasure of hosting the Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide resource table at the HTSD 3rd Annual Community Fair. I also had the most awesome coworkers for the evening. They helped set up, kept track of how many visitors we had at our table, and gave out hearts with 988 on them to other youth. They also managed to sneak in some fun. #suicideprevention #988 #worklifeharmony #MommyDirectorLife
