Quilt Squares of Suicide Survivors Project<\/p>\n
In January, the Peninsula Suicide Education Alliance will launch a community quilt project to honor and remember suicide survivors. The quilt project will bring together personalized quilt squares from individuals and families affected by suicide. Each square will represent a unique story, memory, or message, crafted with love and care to contribute to a larger, collective quilt. The finished quilt will serve as a symbol of hope, remembrance, and support, showing that no one is alone in their journey and that the community stands together in healing and understanding. Participants are encouraged to use fabric, photos, embroidery, or written messages to express their experiences and feelings. Once complete, the quilt will be displayed at community events and resource centers, offering comfort and connection to all who view it. Look for more details in January.
