Mental Health Awareness is the Focus of RSI Event

Mayor Fadness speaks before students & parents at Riverside Intermediate

 

The Hamilton Southeastern Schools have been an integral part of the Mental Health Initiative launched by Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, and that cooperation was on display at Riverside Intermediate School (RSI) Wednesday night.

The event was called “Journey of the Heart, Mind & Soul.”  It featured tables staffed by area organizations.  There were also breakout groups of parents discussing issues such as Suicide Prevention Social Media.

Mayor Fadness spoke to the entire group, explaining how his initiative is aimed at combating depression and preventing students from harming themselves while suffering from mental illness.  Fishers Fire Chief Steve Orusa talked about his role in spearheading the city’s mental health program.
