True Yoga and Therapy, in Daphne, is observing National Suicide Prevention Month throughout September by raising awareness for mental health issues in our community. From September 6 to 12, 2020, True will donate a portion of proceeds from all in-store yoga accessory sales to National Suicide Prevention. Donations will also be accepted throughout the month to benefit this worthy cause.

Donation-based Suicide Prevention Workshops will be held at True on September 11 and 12, 2020, where topics of discussion will include statistics, risk factors, warning signs, how to help and how to seek help for self, minors and others. Each workshop will conclude with a beginner-friendly yoga class to help attendees feel more connected and balanced within their own body and mind. There is no registration fee but a donation (of any amount) for National Suicide Prevention is requested.

 Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S. and the second leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 24. Studio Owner Sydney Wasdin, an Associate Licensed Counselor, National Board Certified Counselor and certified yoga teacher, says, “In Alabama, our suicide rate has been consistently above the national mean since 1990. It is both a national and state health crisis and unfortunately, it’s one we don’t talk enough about because it is still heavily stigmatized.”
