On September 10, the prevention counselors in Narsaq held a series of events as part of Yellow September.
Yellow September is about suicide prevention, hope, and community. In connection with this, the day was marked in Narsaq with activities for children, youth, and adults alike.
The celebration began at the church with prayer, the lighting of candles, and communal hymn singing. In the evening, residents gathered for a walk through town, followed by a cozy get-together at the Community Center with music, while staff from the Family Center were on hand to offer conversation and support. At the same time, there were activities for children and young people organized by the Playmakers.
“It was wonderful to be able to collaborate widely on the event, so that it became a community experience for all ages,” says prevention consultant Nivi Stidsen.
As part of the observance, residents could also pick up Yellow September ribbons at Pilersuisoq and Brugseni to show their support.
