Suicide touches all of us. It can happen to anyone and hearing the stories and lived experience of those who have come close give us a tremendous look inside. In order to fully understand the patient and family experience, healthcare providers need to hear patient and family stories. Join us for our 12th Annual World Suicide Prevention Day Conference focused on multiple pathways to healing. The event will consist of a keynote speaker followed by panel of lived experience.

1. Review current status of the HHC Zero Suicide Initiative
2. Discuss recommended approaches to working with individuals who have experienced significant mental health challenges
3. Examine real life stories of significant mental health challenges
4. Explore the sources for hope and recovery that exist in each storyteller’s life
5. Identify ways to continue to support those who have experienced significant mental health challenges
