FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Active Minds brought their Send Silence Packing exhibit to Patriot Place on Thursday.

In partnership with the New England Patriots Foundation and KyleCares, the exhibit told the stories of young lives lost to suicide to encourage open conversations about mental health, decrease the stigma around mental health challenges and share resources for suicide prevention.

Participants looked at nearly 100 backpacks, each containing the personal story of young people who lost their lives to suicide. Active Minds staff and mental health officials were also available to offer help-seeking tactics and how to detect warning signs in their peers.
