Spencer, Iowa (NorthwestIowaNow.com) — A community event in Spencer this Friday night is hoping to raise suicide survivor awareness. Often, those who lose someone to suicide aren’t able to find support as readily, and Pastor Sharon “Shazzy” Britz says the stigma of talking about suicide to the person hurting, or to someone about their experience, can be a struggle to live with as the survivor who needs the support.

 

 

Everyone is welcome to attend this informal event.

Pastor Shazzy leads First Congregational Church in Spencer.
