Upcoming “Let’s Talk About It” at Fridley High School on February 27!

A recent survey of Anoka County residents found that 98% felt that mental health is as important as physical health. “Let’s Talk About It, Anoka County” is a new community program giving the residents of Anoka County the chance to come together and learn about mental health, mental wellness, and suicide prevention. Free and open to the public, the “Let’s Talk About It, Anoka County” project consists of four education and awareness events held in the central, north, south, and eastern sections of Anoka County. The first event was held at Anoka High School in October with the second event following in December at St. Francis High School.

The next event will be held February 27 at the auditorium at Fridley High School (download the event poster). Participating schools/districts include Fridley, Columbia Heights, Spring Lake Park and Totino Grace High School. Free pizza, beverages, and a resource fair will be available beginning at 5:30 p.m. The 6:30 p.m. program will feature a keynote address by nationally renowned suicide prevention expert Dr. Dan Reidenberg, a youth panel, an adult panel made up of local community experts in mental health, school and social services, and resources for community members.
