The Ripple Effect: Walk for Suicide Prevention

The Ripple Effect: Walk for Suicide Prevention raises funds to support Changing Tides' initiatives in mental health awareness, services, and suicide prevention. With suicide now the third leading cause of death for youth between the ages 15-24 years old and the leading cause of death for AAPI youth in the same age range, Changing Tides hopes to bring critical resources to those in need. 


Ripple Effect brings people together to walk in solidarity for suicide prevention, suicide awareness, and for those who we have lost to suicide. Join Changing Tides’ Ripple Effect for a morning of guest speakers, vendors, mental health resources, and mindful movement!

Beyond my creative pursuits I’ve had the privilege of volunteering for Changing Tides this past year. Changing Tides has helped me foster a healthier relationship with my mental health while also providing me a AAPI community who value vulnerability and compassion.
