The Barb Smith Suicide Resource & Response Network is a grassroots organization that has been serving Michigan and beyond since 1989. Its founder and Executive Director, Barb Smith, used her personal experience of losing her 20-year old brother, John, to suicide to build the organization hoping to find purpose for her pain. According to its website, the organization’s team of expert trainers deliver evidence-based prevention training to people where they live, work, play, and learn with the hope of destigmatizing suicide, increasing help-seeking behaviors, and caring for those impacted by suicide.
Many other activities will help get visitors in the Christmas spirit during the annual Open House, including:
 Prize drawings at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant Castle Shops
 Free gift wrapping: Souvenirs & Cheers Shop, Covered Bridge Shop
 Unique gifts
