Three out of four clients who spent 6 months or more in our Healthy Integration Program found it easier to get help for their physical health problems. Nearly half had improved blood pressure, smoked less or stopped smoking. SUICIDE BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT

Survivors of suicide are more likely than other bereaved persons to develop symptoms of PTSD.

Depression decreased for 80% of people who participated in Didi Hirsch’s suicide bereavement support services. All said they would recommend our services to a friend or someone in need of help. FAMILY-FOCUSED TREATMENT

The inspiring young activists raised $2,000 for teen suicide prevention efforts.

Olivia and Delila Brown

LightHopeLife, a nonprofit co-founded by Michael and Kim Rexford, donated $9,103 to Didi Hirsch’s Suicide Prevention Center. Michael, an attorney, and Kim, a psychologist, met while train- ing for the Suicide Prevention Crisis Line. Comedian Jeannette Rizzi donated proceeds from the October 10 performance of her one-woman comedy show, “Blindsided,” to Didi Hirsch’s The Rexford family Suicide Prevention Center. The Hollywood Improv show raised $1,820 and was dedicated to three friends who died by suicide.

Siblings Hilary Farberow-Stuart and David Jeannette Rizzi Farberow hosted a brunch on September 10th, World Suicide Prevention Day, to celebrate the life of their father, Norman L. Farberow, PhD, co-founder of Didi Hirsch’s Suicide Prevention Center. The gathering on the one-year anniversary of his death raised $2,716 for the center. New Age singer/songwriter Kimberly Haynes celebrated the release of her new album, Awaken Me, by holding a concert on October 1st to benefit Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services. The concert at Full Circle Venice raised $500 for the agency. David Farberow and Hilary Farberow-Stuart
