BATON ROUGE — East Baton Rouge Parish School System's I CARE hosted its fourth annual Sunshine Day on Thursday, World Suicide Prevention Day, to spread awareness of suicide prevention. 

Across multiple schools, Mayor-President Sid Edwards, the Office of Violence Prevention, the City of Baton Rouge and EBR Schools worked to connect the community to resources to help work to raise awareness.
