Speak Life Community Block Party
Join us for a day of fun, community engagement and education !
The Speak Life platform was created in response to growing suicide rates, especially rates in the Black community. We understand that our target communities deeply believe that the tongue yields power. We wanted a chance to act on this principle and change the negative perception that “speaking or talking about suicide will make it happen”. Our goal is for the power of the tongue to be used to speak life, encouraging those suffering in silence to seek help.
If you would like to be a sponsor for this event or for additional information reach out to LaTasha Jackson at l.jackson@jehfoundationfw.org
“We can’t take mental health lightly - we have to take it seriously. Talking saves lives”
Speak Life QPR Breakfast
We know there is a massive silence and stigma related to the conversation of suicide and depression in many of our communities. Many believe the tongue has power, therefore feeling that talking about suicide would cause a person to attempt to take their life. When we know it’s the opposite, people want to be heard, and we all have the power to “Speak Life” into them.
Did you know that Black youth under the age of 13 are twice as likely to die by suicide than their peers of other racial demographics ?
“The U.S. Black population experienced an 18.8% increase in age-adjusted suicide rates during 2018-2021 and a 39.1% increase among Black persons aged 15-29.”
QPR – Question, Persuade, and Refer – is a FREE suicide prevention training designed to give every person in our community the confidence and competence to help someone at risk for suicide.
Anyone can learn to recognize the warning signs of an at-risk individual, offer hope, and get help.
Learn about the important work of The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation and get trained in QPR while you enjoy a FREE yummy breakfast and community conversation.

Soul Shop for Leaders
Are you a church leader with no idea how to talk about suicide with your members?
Do you work with a faith-based community and would like more tools to facilitate a suicide or mental health conversation?
Are you just interested in the intersectionality of faith and suicide or depression?
If the answer is “yes” then Soul Shop for Leaders is for you
Soul Shop is a one-day workshop designed for faith-based leaders and those who work with faith-based communities to learn suicide awareness, the skills for a basic suicide conversation, how to cultivate a soul-safe culture, and how to encourage those that you serve to be willing to share their stories.
The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation is not a faith-based organization, we understand that faith communities are perfectly positioned to identify and respond to the needs of individuals in their communities, including those involving
suicide. Therefore, our objective is to use this training to teach the skills needed to better serve those
experiencing suicidal desperation by facilitating the dialogue about the intersection of faith and suicide prevention.
Lunch and light snacks will be served
