Miss Nephi Teen asks council to back suicide-prevention bench, event at Old Mill Park
Summary
Kaylee Curtis, Miss Nephi 2nd attendant, presented F.I.N.D. (Finding Inspiration in the Next Day), requesting permission to place an engraved bench and message box at Old Mill Park with a QR code for the SAFE UT app and 988 Lifeline and asking for promotional support and help securing the Hive for an event.
Kaylee Curtis, Miss Nephi 2nd attendant, asked the Nephi City Council on Sept. 9 to support a community suicide-prevention initiative she developed called F.I.N.D. (Finding Inspiration in the Next Day).
Curtis described F.I.N.D. as a community-service platform intended to raise awareness about suicide prevention and help residents find hope. She asked the council for approval to place a bench engraved with a quote and a QR code linking to the SAFE UT app and the 988 Lifeline at Old Mill Park, and to install a message box for notes of hope surrounded by painted “HOPE” rocks.
Curtis said she has received donations and lined up speakers for an event she hopes to hold in late October or early November. She proposed partnering with the high school for ongoing maintenance—asking school clubs to take responsibility for the bench and message box—and discussed using the Hive as an event space. Council members expressed appreciation for the initiative and indicated support for her plans.
