HMH Fall Luncheon – Suicide Awareness and Prevention

HMH Fall Luncheon

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and Haskell Memorial Hospital welcomes mental health advocate, Terry Bently Hill, for the second annual Fall Luncheon. The event will be held on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., in the hospital’s Education Building, located at 1 Avenue N in Haskell.

Our keynote speaker for this event is no stranger to the devastation suicide leaves in its wake. Terry Bentley Hill is a practicing attorney and mental health advocate. Her mission is to help relieve the social stigma of mental illness and promote the solutions available for treatment. Hill’s passion for her work stems from her own encounters with mental health issues and her goal of removing the stigmatism surrounding those issues.

In 1995, as the result of untreated alcoholism and depression, her former husband took his life. Nine years later, her 14-year-old daughter also died of suicidal depression.

Hill’s compelling personal story provided all the credentials she needed to be an advocate for addressing mental health issues, with the hope of driving down the rising numbers of suicides. In 2020, she became certified in Mental Health First Aid through Mental Health of America, Greater Dallas.

As a survivor of suicide, Terry speaks from the heart about recognizing the signs of suicidal risk, understanding the stigma surrounding suicide, and knowing why it is so important to Stop Minding Your Own Business.
