‘Hoop for Hope’
Island Yoga Space in Anna Maria welcomes beachgoers near Magnolia Avenue Sept. 29 for an “evening of positivity” during “Hoop for Hope,” a public event to observe Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. With organizer Paige Phelps of Island Yoga, participants practiced yoga, meditated, drummed and Hula-Hooped. Phelps partnered with the Florida Suicide Prevention Coalition and local businesswomen. Suicide Prevention Awareness Month is intended to encourage people to talk about issues related to suicide, as well as spread information about help. People dealing with a crisis can call or text the national “lifeline” at 988 24/7. People also can access the lifeline at 988lifeline.org. Islander Photos: Lisa Neff
