Suicide awareness and prevention

Everyone working or volunteering with adolescents should know the signs of suicide risk and crisis resources. In Chautauqua County, several local agencies are meeting monthly to raise awareness about the issue and inform people about steps to take for help. You can read a Post-Journal article about this campaign here.

There are some trainings happening in March and May for family-service workers and community members about helping those developing mental-health problems. I have registration forms for these events, which are filling up fast. Email me if you want me to send you one.

Perhaps we could invite a representative of this group to an upcoming Conference Youth meeting? What do you think?
