The statistics on youth suicides in Northern Ireland reveal a tragic picture and this is a topic we discuss on our journey. On our last two visits we watched a play called \u201cBlinkered\u201d about a young man who takes his life and the impact on his family. We are extremely fortunate to have Pat Byrne, the author, at RHS for three weeks, starting May 15th<\/sup>. She will workshop the play with four different classes or blocks, culminating in an event on June 2 in the evening, when RHS students will perform adapted scenes and local mental health organizations and our own THC will facilitate discussion and share local support resources.<\/p>\r\n Take a look at the write up in the Derry Journal<\/a><\/p>\r\n Please join us on Saturday November 19th<\/span><\/em>, 6-9pm in Bloedel Hall at St. Mark\u2019s Cathedral on Capitol Hill for the HFB Annual Auction.<\/p>\r\n Always a wonderful evening and an opportunity to support a great cause, connect with the HFB community, and walk away with some amazing deals!<\/p>\r\n Buy in advance and SAVE!
