DDAAT-App! @The Bridge Young Artists Bring Life Music & Suicide Prevention to Taste of Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - June 9, 2024 - PRLog -- Charlotte, NC — DDAAT-App! @ The Bridge is excited to announce that young artists from our Music & Mental Resilience Program will perform at the 2024 Taste of Charlotte Food Festival. This event gives youth a platform to share their message of mental resilience and suicide prevention through music.

Charlotte has the highest suicide rate among young people aged 10-24 in North Carolina. In response, the Flourish Foundation Project DBA DDAAT-App! National Suicide Prevention & School Safety has launched the Music & Mental Resilience Program.

The Music & Mental Resilience Program emphasizes mental health education and peer support. By engaging in music creation and performance, youth find a therapeutic outlet and a platform to positively influence their peers. They learn mental wellness, life skills, and suicide prevention strategies while using their talents to create, produce, and perform "Life Music" and PSA announcements to promote mental wellness and prevent youth suicide and violence.

Their presence at the Taste of Charlotte Food Festival symbolizes hope and resilience, encouraging others to join the fight against youth suicide in Charlotte & beyond.
