COST OF PROGRAM
Mark & Joni Adler will discuss with students the journey during which their son Reid shared with them that he had suicidal thoughts to just over one month’s time when on January 7, 2016, Reid took his own life changing the lives of many forever. Reid was the victim of intimidation and cyber bullying, a situation his parents knew nothing about until after his passing. Mark & Joni will challenge students to stand up for each other and not allow any type of bullying or inappropriate treatment between students. The final focus will be on using courage and leadership as tools in spreading Hope and Kindness to everyone we encounter an approach Reid lived and exemplified daily!
