Writing a letter for the Newsheet may be one of the hardest things that I need to do during the week It is difficult to put my thoughts down to a couple of paragraphs week after week especially when I have a deadline That is why you all get so many comics in this space they often say what I want to say in

a concise way

I am very glad that Rachel and Trinity will now share this space with me each month so that they can let you know what is going on in their respective ministries so that you can continue to be informed We all need a little reminder that there is so much going on at Waverly and I hope that their sharing with us will be another way to stay up to date

May God continue to bless

In Tennessee an estimated 1000 men women and children die by suicide each year More people die by suicide each year than from homicide AIDS or motor

vehicle accidents Suicide is the leading cause of violent deaths in our state nationally and worldwide far above homicide and death due to natural disasters Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among youth and young adults ages 15-24 in Tennessee and for the United States at large According to the Tennessee Department of Health there were 1163 recorded suicide deaths in our state in 2017 at a rate of 173 per 100000 population For more data on suicide loss lived experience and at-risk groups review TSPNrsquos 2019 Status of Suicide (httptspnorgsost)

In almost all cases suicide can be traced to unrecognized untreated or poorly treated mental illness It can happen to people of either sex any race or ethnicity and any economic status The average suicide death leaves behind six survivorsmdashfamily and friends of the deceasedmdash all of who are at increased risk for a suicide attempt themselves As if the emotional and psychological toll were not enough suicide and suicide attempts cost the state of Tennessee $1 billion a year in medical treatment lost wages and lost productivity

The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) and its allies in the public health mental health and social service fields are joining forces to recognize the month of September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month During this annual observance TSPN and its allies arrange several educational and memorial events across Tennessee These projects help teach the general public about the problem of suicide and how it can be prevented They also give us an opportunity to remember those lost to suicide to encourage survivors of suicide survivors of suicide attempts and people who have triumphed over mental illness and to recognize individuals who have made notable contributions to suicide prevention efforts in our state

The Annual Community Food Assistance meeting will be held on Thursday October 3 in our own Fellowship Hall again this year This is the annual meeting of representatives from local food pantries and feeding programs along with members of the Hunger Task Force and the United Wayrsquos Safety amp Stability Vision Council A few of us will be attending the meeting as representatives from our own WRPC Food Pantry It is an excellent opportunity to share what is going on in our own programs with others also serving neighbors in need of food
