The history of Slam The Stigma
Slam the Stigma was started in the fall of 2022 by the family of a student who died by suicide. The first event was held during basketball games played at Clarion Goldfield Dows vs Eagle Grove.
Local resources for mental health and suicide awareness were invited to have a table for guests to visit and get information. Many resources in attendance felt the event was a wonderful way to reach students and parents and continued the concept by planning a Slam the Stigma night at FDSH during the same season. This group has grown and is continuing the great event idea that was started in Clarion Goldfield Dows.
