Preventing Teen Suicide Playing Loud Enough so You Don't Miss It
Manny’s Band is closing the gap between “awareness” and “reaction” in youth suicide prevention. They equip families, friends, and communities with real skills and practice so they do not miss the signs of suicide or the opportunity to help before it is too late.
Manny’s Band Foundation was created in memory of Riverwood Graduate Manny Pargman to make suicide prevention a shared, urgent priority for all — because suicide is not someone else’s problem.
We ignite through large scale
in-person events to move attendees into small group QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training sessions
we call Manny’s Band Practice ®
—where circles of friends learn what they are looking for and what to do in order to prevent suicide – and, perhaps most importantly,
practice doing it.
