Abbey's Bakery & Abington Police Department Host Suicide Prevention Forum Sunday

ABINGTON, PA — A local nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of mental health issues is teaming up with the community's police department to co-host a suicide awareness program this weekend.

Abbey's Bakery announced that it has joined forces with the Abington Township Police Department to present a community forum about mental health and suicide prevention at the North Penn VFW Post 676 on Jenkintown Road in Abington Township on Sunday.

The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

During the program, representatives from behavioral health facilities and nonprofit mental health organizations will discuss issues relating to mental health and suicide.

The program is being dubbed the "Let's Talk Mental Health Resource Fair."

Abbey's Bakery is a nonprofit organization formed following the tragic suicide of 14-year-old Abbey Wolf in November 2020, according to its website.

The young girl's family started the online bakery as a way to raise awareness of suicide by sharing Abbey's recipes with the community. She was known to be an avid baker who loved spending time in the kitchen.

"Abbey may not be here physically, but her family is determined to carry on her love for baking with others," the organization's website reads. "Today we share that love, and her recipes, with you in hopes that it brings you joy and happiness and that baking creates an environment that fosters mental health conversations."
