And it is working! Alarming national statistics indicate that Hispanic high school girls are most likely to seriously consider and attempt suicide. Latina youth in Denver are no exception. Voz y Corazón is a free, culturally responsive support, education, and prevention program designed for Latina youth. It teaches them how to recognize and respond to signs of suicide in themselves and their peers. Volunteers mentor the teens and help them with self-expression through artwork and with developing a healthy bi-cultural identity. Teens are trained as gatekeepers' to support their peers who may be in trouble. "I have many friends that need help and do drugs and try suicide. I want to help them," says one teen participant. Voz y Corazón Teen Art Show and Benefit gives the teens a chance to showcase their art work and creativity. The teen's art work will be professionally displayed at the Red Line Art for viewing and certain pieces will be available for purchase. The public is invited. All donations support this important program.
