St John of the Cross -140 Richmond Rd, Euclid OH welcomes guest speaker David Shellenberger RN, BSN to engage us in a community conversation on promoting hope and preventing suicide. Mr Shellenberger is the President of the St John Vianney Center, a behavioral health center specializing in serving clergy and religious, in Downingtown, PA. This free event is on Tuesday May 15 at 7:00 pm in the main church.
Suicide rates remain high in Ohio, with 80% of victims being male. Middle-aged men (45-64) account for one quarter of all suicides in Ohio. In an effort to stop the stigma associated with mental health issues, to promote hope in our community, and to prevent this alarming trend from continuing, we invite the entire community to attend this educational event. There is no charge to attend and one does not have to be Catholic, although the presentation will be given through a spiritual lens. Please invite anyone who may benefit from the information Mr Shellenberger will be presenting and the crucial conversation that he will be starting in this community.
