Melissa Conway: Safety Planning and Suicide Prevention: A Guide for Friends and Family
Both sessions will be at Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities - Please Register Here in Advance
Part 1-Tuesday, April 22
Part 2-Tuesday, April 29
The first line of defense in trying to prevent someone's suicide is caring and alert friends and family members. The better armed they are with knowledge, skills, information and resources the greater the likelihood this tragic loss can be avoided. This two part series is designed to explore basic interventions at the family/friend level to help someone stay safe, receive care and how to continue to be a support once someone is receiving care.
