Genesee County Launches Suicide Prevention Campaign
No more than ever we need to watch out for one another.
It has been a tough year and a half for all of us. From losing jobs, the pandemic, homeschooling the kids, and more, everyone has had a boatload of stress added to their lives. Sometimes it all just becomes too much for some people.

That is why the Genesee Health System is launching a campaign to help those in need. This campaign is trying to get those that are struggling to speak up and reach out.

Half of the new appointments are available to be booked right now on the Secretary of State website or by calling 1-888-SOS-MICH. The other half will be available soon. The extra 350,000 appointments were made available because, with the appointment-only system, employees at the Secretary of State have been able to speed up efficiency by 25%. Some branches throughout Michigan also have greeters that will let walk-in customers know if they can be served that day. If they can t, the greeter will schedule an appointment for them.

I have known Thom for countless years, and have always respected his work. Prior to the pandemic, if there was a concert (especially at The Machine Shop), Thom was there with a camera in hand. Many of his photos have been showcased by the bands he has shot, but this is his first on a bottle.
