Suicide Prevention Education Awareness Knowledge (SPEAK) is a mental health awareness program that is youth-led and youth-driven. It consists of a week-long series of education in schools which culminates in the 5k Walk/Run. Members of the community were profoundly impacted with the 2011 death of Joshua Dillon, a Brighton High School Senior. In order to draw attention to the importance of mental health and to spread the message of healing and hope, SPEAK was born.
