A community gathering celebrating LGBTQIA+ creativity, expression, connection & joy: In recognition of Suicide Prevention Month

Hosted by: Ambler LGBTQIA & MontCo 4 All

Joy deserves space, too.

LGBTQIA+ communities experience disproportionate rates of suicide and mental health challenges – not because of who we are, but in the context of discrimination, rejection, isolation, and barriers to affirming care.

For suicide prevention month, we want to hold space for more than statistics.

music. poetry. drag. comedy. art. dance. storytelling. crafts. open mic. spoken word. something completely different.

september 20th is an invitation to create, perform, share, or simply try something new in celebration of queer joy.

funds raised will support local LGBTQIA+ organizations and the artists and performers helping bring this gathering to life.

because suicide prevention includes more than crisis intervention.

it also means working toward communities where our LGBTQIA+ neighbors have affirming spaces, meaningful connection, access to support, and the freedom to be fully themselves.

The Montgomery County Suicide Prevention Task Force is hosting a Walk to Prevent Suicide on Sunday, September 13 at Temple - Ambler Campus. Register today for this inspirational walk to support suicide awareness, education, and prevention. Bring your family and friends to join us in this important cause!

We believe that people who use drugs deserve safety, dignity, compassion, and care without judgment or stigma.

For Overdose Awareness Day, we hope you’ll join us in showing up for our neighbors and putting harm reduction into action in our community by helping us distribute:

Narcan • Wound Care Kits • Xylazine & Fentanyl Testing Strips • Snack Bags • Cold Water

On June 11th, 2026, neighbors from across Montgomery County and Philadelphia gathered for MontCo 4 All’s first public event — a peaceful community vigil held in honor of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and in solidarity with all who seek safety, dignity, and belonging.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended and helped make this gathering a meaningful beginning for MontCo 4 All. Together, we will continue to build a stronger, more compassionate community!
