𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭. 𝟏𝟗 (𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲). 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 - 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐭 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

The 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. event occurs during National Su***de Prevention Month.

𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 s a local non-profit with a mission of saving just one life from su***de.

“We need to make sure everyone, especially our youth know they matter, they are loved, and that there are places and people to turn to if you feel helpless from depression and anxiety,” said Kelly Haskins, who founded 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 following the death of her son, Hunter.

“If it happened to our family, it could happen to anyone," she said. "We need to spread love and kindness and the You Matter message not just in September during su***de awareness month, but always.”

In late September 2021, just five weeks after starting college at the University of Central Florida, the Haskins family received the worst call of their lives. Hunter had taken his life.

“Hunter was a normal 18 year old. He played lacrosse and football all through high school, he was a high achiever, was loved by a huge group of family and friends, but he struggled internally,” Kelly said. “He wouldn’t talk about his feelings; he didn’t know how to reach out for help. Our mission is to help young people know they matter, how to reach out for help, and to provide tools to help them through a panic attack.”

Since its founding, 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 has:

- Has hosted four You Matter Day events
- Distributed more than 3,000 Stress Toolkits to high school seniors
- Held five "Mom Hugs Days" at college campuses
- Placed 33 su***de awareness benches at schools and parks
- Handed out thousands of free su***de awareness stickers and bracelets for free.

You Matter Day has grown to include many schools, mental health resource organizations, food trucks, entertainment, music, a car show, goat happy hour, and more.

The event is free and will kick-off at 9:30 am with a “Mustang Mile Fun Run/Walk” which starts at the auditorium and takes participants through the high school, onto the track and back to the auditorium. There are prizes for the top 3 male and female finishers. There is NO COST to register for the run/walk! Register online at RunSignup.

Do It For Hunter, Inc. is a 501c3 registered non-profit. Call 321-866-6105, visit doitforhunter.org, or email [email protected] for information.

If you are struggling with thoughts of su***de or worried about a friend or loved one, call or text the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for free, confidential emotional support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Midweek Check-In

How are you doing... really?

Take a moment to pause and check in with yourself today. Have you had water? Taken a deep breath? Stepped outside? Reached out to someone you trust?

Progress doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to keep moving. Be kind to yourself this week. You've made it this far.

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬, 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬

At Tuesday's State of the Schools luncheon, put on by 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐫. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐥 presented a glowing picture of our public schools on the Space Coast.
- BPS boasts 41 "A" schools. That's up from 30 three years ago.
- 79 percent of Brevard schools earned "A" or "B" rankings by the state.
- Brevard schools boast a 93 percent graduation rate
- 95 percent of school staff are trained in "mental health first aid."
All that is a lot to be proud of when it comes to our schools.

Now for the melancholy news - or rather "these are the sad circumstances in which we presently live."
Dr. Rendell reported that Brevard's 11 middle schools are getting weapons-detection systems. All the high school already have them, and those systems are flagging weapons.
"It's unfortunate we're in this situation," he said of the middle school systems. "But we need to do this."

𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦: 𝐔.𝐒. 𝐑𝐞𝐩. 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬, who spoke at the luncheon, said Northorp Grumman is likely to announce in two to three weeks that 2,000 new jobs are coming to the Space Coast. Those jobs have an average pay of $120,000 annually.
That's BIG!
