PRESENTATION: Suicide Prevention Through Storytelling
In this keynote, audiences will learn proactive approaches to suicide prevention. We will learn what our role can be to support someone struggling, what to say versus what not to say, identify key warning signs, and become versed on important resources. Greg's story is rooted in this conversation, having overcome two suicide attempts, four psychiatric hospital visits, and a year-long stay at a residential treatment center. Let's live in a way that empowers people to feel comfortable opening up, put an end to silent suffering, and see real hope.
