Testimony 1

"The assembly was awesome. I think that it was very effective at getting the students to listen through participation, skits, and music. I know that I was captivated. The whole thing just made you have a positive feeling , and a hope for you yourself working in suicide prevention. It made it all sound possible."

Carry the Cure Assembly: *good*

"Great message, lively, uplifting. The music was cool, especially liked the Alanis skit/song. I thought everyone did agreat job with all of the skits, and the trash can drumming at the beginning was cool, liked the metaphor of using a trash can & the way you can 'trash life'."

Testimony 4

"I thought overall it was agreat assembly. It was one of the few ones that actually interested the student body (with music, 'monkey', etc). The assembly really got the message across."

Nick Hammin

"I was a the one you did at Palmer last year or something. [It] rocked. It's cool how you talk about suicide and how its not the way out. I know, my cousing hung himself this past July. It's hard [on] everyone around them. So keep up the good work, keep setting into those schools."

Luan Madole

"Carry The Cure is an excellent suicide prevention program. I have personnaly seen the program in action within our school system at Bethel where the suicide rate is high. They are government backed and all students throughout the state would benefit greatly from their program. It should be our goal as parents, teachers, and leaders to reach out to the youth of America and give them hope. Carry The Cure does just that. It presents 'hope' for those wo are in despair. Let's work together to reach them before it's too late."
