The Central Oregon Suicide Prevention Alliance (COSPA) will be hosting a Candlelight Vigil on Thursday, September 12 at the Bend-La Pine Schools Education Center in downtown Bend. The event will feature activities aimed at bringing the community together to remember those lost to suicide and provide hope and healing through stories, music, poetry, and a moment of silence.

The Candlelight Vigil will start at 6:30 pm and run until 8:00 pm. This event is part of National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, which aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and connect individuals to support and services. Early recognition of warning signs and intervention can save lives.
