ZEELAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) –When classes resume in earnest along the Lakeshore in August, an effort to prevent youths from taking their own lives will also resume in earnest.
Spectrum Health had set up its “Blue Envelope” program in order to address this increased need for the general public, and the School Blue Envelope effort was created by Spectrum and Zeeland Community Hospital through a countywide task force looking to replicate this program in a school environment.
