ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Nazareth University is holding a special event to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention.
The “Send Silence Packing” exhibit is an all-day event created by the student group “Active Minds.” It features backpacks donated by families who have lost loved ones to suicide.
Visitors are able to walk among the backpacks, view photographs and read personal stories attached to each one. The exhibit is designed to communicate hope and encourage open conversation.
