SPIN’s Volunteer Opportunities: Suicide Prevention Month in Action
Hello friends,
September is Suicide Prevention Month, and SPIN has been working hard to raise awareness, build connections, and share resources with our community.
Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to:
Invited by Cambia Health Foundation to table at the Regence Employee BBQ
Taught QPR Suicide Prevention Trainings
Participated in the 91st Lewiston Parade
And here’s what’s coming up next:
- Nez Perce County Fair – We’ll have a booth where we’re handing out 988 materials and greeting community members. We’d love your help staffing the booth—if you’d like to volunteer, please reach out!
Please consider volunteering with us at the Nez Perce County Fair – Sept. 18–21.

Help staff SPIN’s booth, greet community members, and hand out resources and SPIN swag. A great opportunity to connect with people, share information, and be a friendly face at the fair!
