CONFERENCE ON SUICIDE: REGISTRATION OPTIONS
Kevin’s Song will host its fourth annual conference on suicide, at the Inn at St. Johns in Plymouth, Michigan. The conference, titled: A Conference on Suicide: Advocacy in ACTION, will tackle this difficult issue from a variety of angles, discussing suicide as a complex and undiscriminating phenomenon that must be addressed by a unified and collaborative coalition of community resources. Communities can play a critical role in suicide prevention. Facilitating community engagement in suicide prevention is an important task and overall goal of the 2020 Kevin’s Song Conference on Suicide.
ADVOCACY IN ACTION CONFERENCE - Kevin’s Song has designed the Thursday, Friday and Saturday Advocacy in Action conference to challenge communities to work together to advocate for better education and support for suicide prevention. Researchers, clinicians and suicide prevention advocates will share information about suicide, suicidal persons and the repercussions of suicide at both the personal and community level.
On Saturday, the Conference focuses on survivors of suicide loss and attempt survivors, support group facilitators, mental health professionals, and others interested in sharing and understanding the lived experience of surviving a suicide attempt/suicidal thoughts, and/or the loss and grief following the suicide of a loved one.
THE SCHOOL SUMMIT - On Thursday, as part of the Kevin’s Song Conference on Suicide, Kevin’s Song and Presenting Sponsor, THE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION, will host The School Summit that will bring together public, independent, parochial and charter schools to share best practices in suicide awareness and prevention, and learn about creative, innovative programs that are bringing mental health and suicide awareness to students, teachers and parents throughout Michigan. While School is a challenging environment for suicide prevention, prevention education must be done. School personnel are urged to send people to the summit to learn how, given all the pressures in education, to educate staff and students on the importance of positive mental health and Suicide prevention.
