On Thursday, September 12th, the community gathered throughout the day to write positive messages on the Courthouse Square in Bryan.
The event was organized by Sarah’s Friends, a program known for working with survivors of crime in Williams County.
This event has been held annually since 2019 to honor Suicide Prevention Week. From 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., community members could grab chalk to write their messages. From 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sarah’s Friends staff joined the community in chalking the walk.
The number of attendees fluctuates each year, and this year, the group seemed smaller. However, they hope the messages still have the same impact as before.
