Workshop Topic: Talk Saves Lives

On May 15th, For Her will host the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for their workshop, Talk Saves Lives. We’ll talk about what we know about this leading cause of death, the most up-to-date research on prevention, and what we can all do to fight suicide. Community members will learn the common risk factors for suicide, how to spot the warning signs in others, and how to keep ourselves, our loved ones, and those in our community safe.
