Learning from Lived Experience: Suicide Attempt Survivors Share Insights in Recovery Process
First of its Kind Critical Skills Training Seminar for Suicide Risk Assessment, Management, Recovery and Bereavement Support
February 26th and 27th
University of Denver
“Not about us without us,” has been the emerging mantra of people living with suicidal thoughts and behaviors as they come forward to help shape the conversation about treatment and recovery. 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. At the University of Denver on February 26th and 27th, mental health service professionals and peer supporters will have the opportunity to benefit from the lived experience of suicide attempt survivors and those impacted by suicide death. The 3rd Elevate the Conversation training serves to a bridge a conversation about suicide prevention between mental health policy makers, providers and consumer advocates.
