The Latest News...

To All UAW Local 1005 Members

This year, UAW Local 1005 has formed an online Walk Team to raise awareness of depression and suicide prevention and to support the efforts of the Cleveland non-profit organization, Suicide Prevention Education Alliance (SPEA). This non-profit organization is dedicated to the prevention of suicide through education right here in greater Cleveland, Ohio. SPEA has delivered its high school classroom program to more than 44,000 students in 69 high schools since December 2000. SPEA’s professional instructors teach students how to identify individuals who may be at risk of suicide; how to respond; and where to refer. Teens who make a plan to take their lives often inform a friend. The goal of the program is to cause students who are at risk of suicide to seek the help of a mental health professional.

Did you know...

More Americans suffer from depression than coronary heart disease
(7 million), cancer (6 million) and AIDS (200,000) combined.

A person dies by suicide about every 16 minutes in the United States. An attempt is estimated to be made once every minute.

To provide an opportunity for survivors of suicide to experience healing in a safe, anonymous way. To raise funds to support SPEA’s prevention education program, Recognizing Adolescent Depression and Suicide Prevention.

Thanks to your efforts, last year’s Walk saw more than 750 Walkers come out to help Suicide Prevention Education Alliance raise over $90,000 to support our important mission. This year, we must raise $100,000 to continue and expand our signature classroom program, Recognizing Adolescent Depression and Suicide Prevention.
