Nathaniel B. Field Memorial Foundation Inc. Awards Scholarships to Haddam-Killingworth Class of 2019.
Good evening everyone. On behalf of my Board of Directors, some of whom are here tonight, I am once again honored to present 4 $1000 awards to the recipients of the fourth annual Nathaniel B. Field Memorial Foundation Scholarship. Our mission is to prevent suicide through public awareness and education, to reduce the stigma of mental illness, and to provide hope and support. To learn more about the activities we have been pursuing, please visit our website nathanielfield.org
Unfortunately, suicide rates continue to rise. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, last year, in Connecticut, suicide became the second leading cause of death for people 15 to 34 years of age. On average, in our State, one person dies by suicide every 22 hours. The statistics are sobering therefore, we plan to continue with our efforts to fulfill our mission statement and to prove our motto that “You’re Worth It”! I am also pleased to have learned that the H-K School District will be embedding mental health topics into the middle school and high school health curriculum. These subjects must be discussed openly with our students and the misconceptions surrounding mental illness must decrease in order to lower the suicide rates and increase the number of people seeking professional help.
To the seniors here tonight, I want you to know that college will come with its rewards and fun times, as well as with a lot of stress and perhaps, what you might perceive as failures. I want to emphasize to you that every college campus has a counseling center, clubs like Active Minds, and other programs that can support you when you need it. You just need to ask! There is no shame in needing help and asking for it.
All of the applicants of the Nathaniel B. Field Memorial Scholarship are highly qualified, intelligent and insightful people who we know will continue to have a positive impact on society and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Please help me to congratulate the following scholarship award winners:
Pursuing a career as a mental health professional, Morgan Bowles.
Pursuing a career as a geriatric social worker, Amber Edwards.
Pursuing a career as an aerospace engineer and following graduation, entering into the United States Navy to serve our country, James Martino.
And finally, pursuing a career in anesthesiology, Hannah McLeod
Congratulations!
