Sept. 11. Davidson Mayor Knox and the Board of Commissioners acknowledged the recent passing of a Davidson teen to suicide and the need for mental health awareness and resources. The board would like to continue the conversation in the community and at an upcoming board meeting with Davidson LifeLine and other area mental health resources to discuss advocacy and ideas for mental health.
