Webinar: Super Powers, Suicide, and Speaking Life
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues or needs someone to talk to, please call or text 988 in the United States and Puerto Rico for help. Canadian residents can call 1-833-456-4566 or text 45645.
This Mental Health Initiative webinar offers insights into how the people of God can understand, healthily respond, and better support those affected by suicide and suicidal thoughts. Rooted in the hope that we bear as people of God, this webinar provides general information about suicide; discuss key elements, warnings signs, and potential risk and resilience factors for suicide; and offer practical ways we can nurture, support, and stand alongside those affected by suicide. The hope is that this webinar can be used as a tool for discussion and contemplation during September, the official suicide awareness and prevention month.
