We've lost a dear friend and a gifted artist: Sarah E. Mitchell, a cast member of our touring production THE WINTER BEAR, who helped so many Alaskans in the struggle against suicide. Our love and support go to Sarah's family, and to her The Winter Bear Project family, author Anne Hanley and company.
Our earlier Facebook post included a link to a news article which described the means by which Sarah took her own life. Research has shown that reporting these kinds of details often leads to more self-harm by others who are struggling, while causing more pain among survivors. We’ve asked the reporter to modify the article with this knowledge in mind, and meantime, we’re expressing our grief here once more, without that link.
Thanks for your understanding and for helping one another through this tragedy that touches us all.
If you or someone you know is considering suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) or the Alaska Careline, which has limited hours, at 1-877-266-
