Zero Reasons Why, a student-led program geared toward addressing mental health issues and suicide prevention, is growing.
Because of the addition, Zero Reasons Why of Southeast Kansas organizers announced via Facebook the retreat and orientation will be moved to January.
Zero Reasons Why was launched in Johnson County after a sudden uptick in student deaths by suicide.
Since then, Zero Reasons Why has expanded to Wichita, Great Bend and southeast Kansas.
The organization also has secured a suicide prevention grant from the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, to give the organization tools to create a “turnkey” model, making it easier for local groups to develop their own Zero Reasons Why programs.
