The more we understand suicide, the better we can support our friends, neighbors, co-workers, family members, and even ourselves. Check our calendar often, as we host a variety of events, from film premiers to guest speakers.
Does your work entail significant or ongoing stress? Have you ever found yourself feeling completely exhausted as a caregiver or traumatized by another’s pain? We invite you to join us for a practical, interactive, best practice training to support your own resilience.
We believe storytelling saves lives
If you are a person who has faced adversity and life challenges, like mental illness, suicidal thoughts, addiction, alcohol and substance misuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, or any other trauma, and you want to learn how to share your story with others, this is for you.
We educate others about suicide because we believe that knowledge can save lives.
Join us for this informative session aimed at giving you the current local data, initiatives, program updates and more as we strive to reduce instances of suicide in our community.
Learn essential skills to help with stress management, so you can live a healthier and happier life.
