suicide to Hope is a one day workshop targeting the clinical workforce and other professional caregivers working with persons recently at risk of and currently safe from suicide.
Recovery and growth approaches have demonstrated significant positive impacts in mental health, substance abuse and trauma but have not been developed for use with those recovering from suicide. To meet this need, LivingWorks is developing suicide to Hope: A Recovery and Growth Workshop that will provide clinical workers and other professional caregivers with skills to help persons recently at risk identify opportunities for recovery and growth arising out of their experiences with suicide.

February 27th: Elevate the Conversation Skills Training
8:00am - 5:00pm
"Learning through Lived Experience"
This is the 2nd annual Elevating the Conversation event featuring the most recent research, thought provoking perspectives, and skills-based training on suicide risk assessment, management, and grief support for:
- Healthcare professionals
- Behavioral health & mental health providers
- Peer supporters
- Bereavement support providers
- All those interested in learning more!
About this year's theme "Learning through Lived Experience:"
For far too many years suicide prevention has not engaged the perspectives of those who have lived through suicidal experiences. Because of social stigma and fear, as well as personal shame, a culture of silence prevailed. This year's event is an opportunity to benefit from the lived experience of suicide attempt survivors. Elevate the Conversation training will also help serve as a bridge to developing a conversation about suicide prevention between mental health policy makers and consumer advocates.
The workshop is collaboratively supported by the Carson J Spencer Foundation, Colorado Psychological Association, Judi’s House, Suicide Prevention Coalition of Colorado, and University of Denver’s School of Social Work and Graduate School of Professional Psychology.
