Are you missing half of the suicide prevention puzzle? Join us for a powerful look at the postvention side of suicide prevention. Postvention is the term used to describe intervention conducted after a suicide, largely taking the form of support for the bereaved, who may be at increased risk of suicide themselves. This conference, happening October 14-16, 2024,  answers your questions about best practices for supporting suicide loss survivors throughout their grief journey. Be at the front of a growing movement and get equipped for the future!
