During "Sock It To Suicide Week" we encourage everyone to wear bright coloured Socks/Stockings to their workplace, school etc and raise funds in support of White Wreath Association to help us combat our high suicide rate.
The White Wreath Association creates awareness about the misunderstandings relating to mental illness and provides community education concerning the lack of appropriate treatments. Our objective is to raise sufficient funds to establish safe haven centres for those who want a 'place of safety' at times when suicide threatens. With your help we'll achieve our goals and together reduce the frightening suicide figures growing at a staggering rate.
