Join our #LMCCCcares campaign
In honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month this past September, we ran a campaign to encourage community members to write caring messages to friends, classmates, colleagues, loved ones etc. to tell them why they are grateful for them.
​
September has passed, but it's not too late to join our connection revolution. Pick up a card from the CCC or write your own note, give it to the person you care about, and share it with us on instagram (check out our #LMCCCcares hashtag feed below). You might just inspire someone else to do the same.
