High Plains Morning was honored to host Tejay Adams, the founder of the Amarillo-based nonprofit Stand Against Suicide. He's hosting a rally this Sunday, June 24th, at 34th & Georgia in Amarillo from 2:00 to 4:01pm, to bring visibility to the public health crisis of suicide in our region. You can  RSVP here.

After the loss of his brother to suicide, Tejay has devoted his time to this effort, hoping to see the alarming statistics of rural suicide start to decline. His rallies aim to promote a community of care for those who might be: experiencing a loss, dealing depression or suicidal thoughts, or passionate about being present for those in need. 

If you are considering suicide, help is available.
