Who is this? What is happening?
Rooted in a dynamic story-sharing format displayed through mixed mediums,
Send Silence Packing is an immersive experience that illustrates the stories and centers
the voices of youth and young adults as they guide us through their mental health
journeys to end the silence surrounding suicide.
The exhibit serves as a mobilizing force to change the way we think, talk, and
feel about mental health, and (perhaps most importantly), how we show up for the
people around us.
Now entering its 17th year on the road, SSP has connected more than a million
visitors in over 300+ communities with resources and tools for skills and support.
