Just one life lost to suicide is too many. Just one conversation can make all the difference. Just one life matters.

Just One is a collaborative, community-wide event that helps a community have a conversation around depression, suicide and suicide prevention. This event is geared toward middle and high school youth, but has important information for everyone - especially parents and people who work with teens.

Speaker Sam Eaton shares his story of the day suicide didn’t win. Sam is the founder of a suicide prevention organization called Recklessly Alive, and author of the 2021 book, Recklessly Alive: What My Suicide Attempt Taught Me About God and Living Life to the Fullest. His talk offers resources and practical application for those who are struggling with mental health and depression and also provides information on how to best support friends and family struggling with depression.

Just One also features live music from hip hop artist Kaboose, a positive-message artist who hopes to bring a message of positivity into peoples’ lives. Kaboose puts on an interactive, audience-driven show.

At Just One, attendees will also find resources from local and national organizations to help continue the conversation around mental health.

Just One is affiliated with Recklessly Alive and the Recklessly Alive Foundation Nonprofit. For more information on Sam Eaton and Recklessly Alive, visit www.recklesslyalive.com or email [email protected]
