Community members gathered Tuesday evening at Allen County Regional Hospital for a luminary walk for suicide awareness. About 20 participants decorated luminaries, featured above, to remember those lost to suicide and help spread awareness about mental health. Toward the end of the event, attendees walked the trail around the hospital campus. 
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and Senior Life Solutions Program Therapist Mary Sumner, LMSW, shared statistics and early warning signs with the group.
