The 3rd Annual Garrett’s PALMS Suicide Awareness Walk will take place Saturday, June 18, 2011.
As in past years, the walk will start in the early morning at the Legion Park in Pinedale, Wyoming. Shuttle buses will transport walkers to White Pine Ski Resort for breakfast and T-Shirts. The route will take walkers down the hill from the ski resort back to town and the Legion Park, where we will gather for Suicide Awareness information and support, a picnic, and butterfly release. This is a day to join with others to remember our loved ones lost to suicide, and to gain knowledge about suicide prevention.

I new and very informative documentary is out on psychotropic drugging. Garrett’s photos were used in the documentary and it was just awarded a Silver Tully Award.
Documentary Summary:
Psychotropic drugs. It’s the story of big money–drugs that fuel a $330 billion psychiatric industry, without a single cure. The cost in human terms is even greater–these drugs now kill an estimated 42,000 people every year. And the death count keeps rising. Containing more than 175 interviews with lawyers, mental health experts, the families of victims and the survivors themselves, this riveting documentary rips the mask off psychotropic drugging and exposes a brutal but well-entrenched money-making machine.
