Community Connection Tuesday September 10

Today is National Suicide Prevention Day, and the whole month of September is National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month.

All our Radio One Properties had a “STOP THE MUSIC RADIO BLOCK” from 10AM – 12PM. Community Connection expanded on this from 1PM – 3PM as well.

We had discussions about Suicide Prevention with Mental Health Professionals, Church Leaders, those who have experienced suicidal Tendencies, our listeners, and more.
