💛 One conversation can make a difference.

This Saturday, our community has an opportunity to come together for the Preventing Su***de Training at Bluestem High School in Leon.

This training is about more than awareness. It’s about helping everyday people recognize warning signs, feel more confident starting difficult conversations, and know how to connect someone with help when they may need it most.

You don’t have to be a mental health professional to make a difference. Sometimes simply knowing what to look for, what to say, and where to turn can matter more than we realize.

📅 Saturday, September 26
⏰ 11:30 AM–1:30 PM
📍 Bluestem High School | Leon, KS

We would love to see members of our communities come out, learn together, and help us continue breaking the silence surrounding su***de and mental health. 💛

💛 LEAVING OUR COMMUNITY BETTER THAN WE FOUND IT — ON AND OFF THE JOB SITE. 💛

At Herrman & Son’s Excavation, that means more to us than the work we do with our equipment. It means showing up for the people and communities around us, too.

We are proud to be sponsoring lunch for the Preventing Su***de Training on Saturday, September 26 at Bluestem High School in Leon.

Su***de prevention and mental health awareness are conversations that matter. Knowing the warning signs, knowing how to start a conversation, and knowing where to turn for help can make a difference in someone’s life.

We’re honored to play a small part in making this training available to our community, and we encourage anyone who is interested to attend.

📅 Saturday, September 26
⏰ 11:30 AM–1:30 PM
📍 Bluestem High School | Leon, KS

Sometimes leaving a community better than you found it has nothing to do with moving dirt. Sometimes it means showing up, supporting one another, and making sure people know they don’t have to face hard things alone. 💛

We hope you’ll join us.
