LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Suicide Prevention Awareness Month kicks off next week, and there’s a community campaign in the Lake Area to let people know “You Matter!”

One Lake Area business has already incorporated that message into its new McNeese artwork. Several others have signed up to have their windows painted with the message “You Matter” as well as the 988 crisis hotline.

The United Way is also printing up signs with the message for businesses that may not want paint on their window.

Over 20 local artists and some art studios in the Lake Area have volunteered to do the painting for you, so there’s no cost to the business.

If you’re interested in participating, you can contact Rhonda Kitchens via Facebook HERE or via email at Rhonda.Kitchens@kplctv.com.
