#MenWhoCook is coming soon! Have you bought your tickets yet? 🍴💻🍷 tinyurl.com/MWC2020tickets
Crisis Services' roots began with suicide prevention. As we close out #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth, our 52-year journey to #StopSuicide continues. Be well, #keepgoing, and please call us when times get tough at 716-834-3131, day or night. We will walk with you, 24/7.
Tomorrow is the start of #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth. 💜 A sweet way to support survivors is to purchase a purple sparkle 🍩 from Paula's Donuts this Saturday 10/3. Proceeds will benefit the Erie County Coalition Against Family Violence, of which we are a founding member!
Trauma can make it hard to put words to the pain we experience, especially for those of us who are Black, Brown, Disabled, LGBTQIA+ or otherwise “different.” Let's hold space for the role oppression plays in mental health. #TransformationTuesdays (Art by @agua_diente)
Oh, what a night!! #MenWhoCook Reimagined was a terrific success with our celebrity chef Dave Greber in the News 4 WIVB Buffalo kitchen making his perfect paella. 🥘 Not only did we meet our $25,000 goal for the evening, but we surpassed it! Thank you to Indepedent Health, FreedMaxick, UBMD Emergency Medicine, CWA Local 1122, Phillips Lytle, Pyramid Brokerage, Hodgson Russ, BestSelf Behavioral Health, Northeastern Appraisal Associates, BryLin, Transit Valley Country Club and our Crisis Services Board Members for your sponsorships during such an uncertain year. It was a delight to watch our hosts, CEO Jessica Pirro and BPD SVU Lt. David Mann, bring this event to our guests via Zoom. We gave away 22 terrific prizes ranging from $100-$2,000 — congrats to all of our lucky winners! 🎉 We had no idea how it all would go, but we pulled it off and had a ton of fun while doing it! While we couldn’t celebrate together, truly nothing can keep us apart. Until next year!🍴💻🍷
