World Suicide Prevention Day 2023
World Suicide Prevention Day aims to bring attention to the global issue of suicide to reduce stigma, raise awarness, and spread the message the suicides are often preventable.
Join us for this informative, one-hour webinar where we will demystify and destigmatize talking about suicide. During this session, we will explore some common suicide myths; how to use de-stigmatizing language when talking about suicide; and some basic tools we can use to respond to someone who discloses thoughts of suicide.
