Dear Joan,
As February draws
to a close the New Mexico Suicide Prevention Coalition wants
to inform you of some very important activities which could
benefit from your support. On February 26, the
Coalition will have a table at the Roundhouse in observance of NM
Behavioral Health Day at the Legislature. Please make an
effort to stop by, say hello, and pick up information about the
Coalition as well as some of our partners. Help us draw attention
to the seriousness of suicide in our state. Visit your
legislators and let them know of your concerns about the epidemic
of suicide we have in New
Mexico. Coalition members will be
there during the day helping survivors commemorate
those who have been lost to suicide. Additionally, we
want to bring attention to Senate Joint Memorial 18,
sponsored by Senator Carlos R. Cisneros requesting a
feasibilty study with regard to installing a bridge barrier on the Taos Gorge Bridge.

As you know we rescheduled our
February Coalition meeting. It has been rescheduled
for Wednesday, March 18th. We are excited about the
presentations that are scheduled. Our program will have a
focus on justice issues. Ann Edenfield-Sweet, Executive Director
of Wings for Life will be talking about the services her
organization offers to children and families of the
incarcerated. Wings for L.I.F.E. is an outreach of Wings
Ministry that empowers youth and families through education.
They teach life-skills and build relationships for the
future.

Art Center
Our March Meeting Place-
Plan to spend some time here
We are excited and so grateful to
the Harwood
Art Center
which has welcomed The New Mexico Suicide Prevention Coalition for
our March Meeting. Please join us and plan to visit the
gallery while you're there!
The Harwood Art
Center
is a creative center for community and the
arts. Participating at a grassroots level, they work to build
a sustainable and more vibrant local, statewide and regional community
by using the arts as a catalyst for cultural enrichment, personal
empowerment and as a vehicle for social change. The Harwood Art
Center, originally the
home of the Harwood Girls School (1925-1976),
is housed in a 1925 neo-classical Revival style building just north
of downtown Albuquerque on
the Mountain Road side
of the Sawmill-Wells Park neighborhoods.
Our meeting will take place at the Harwood Art Center
from 9:30-12:30 on Wednesday, March 18th. We hope to see you
there!
