IMPACT Suicide Conference 2024 
 September 13, 2024, from 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM CT
The 2024 IMPACT Suicide Conference is coming up with a focus on Digital Lifelines: Building Resiliency & Awareness. This FREE half-day virtual conference will be held on Zoom on September 13, 2024, from 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM CT. 
This event is a vital opportunity for community members and professionals to learn resources and methods to reduce the number of lives lost to suicide. Did you know that, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), suicide was the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S. as of 2022? With an estimated 1.6 million suicide attempts in the same year, it’s clear that we must act. The conference will bring together impactful speakers who will share personal experiences, educate through data-driven insights, and lead breakout sessions tailored for parents, nursing and mental health professionals, community members, and students. A key highlight will be a forum on accessing local and national resources. The IMPACT Suicide Conference, a volunteer-driven initiative
by the Madison County (IL) Mental Health Alliance, has been making a difference since 2020.
Each year, the conference centers on the goal of preventing suicide in all communities, reminding us that
it takes all of us working together to achieve this mission.

Hurst Conference Center, 1601 Campus Drive, Hurst, Texas 76054
Virtual Option is Available!

Gathering Hope is a collective experience for bereaved mothers, held each October to both
remember our children and honor our unique motherhood. As fellow survivors, they invite you to
join them for powerful speakers, uplifting worship, and a sacred, intimate atmosphere where you are
regarded as a truly honored guest. 
Inspired by Isaiah 61, we are excited to share this year’s theme,
BEAUTY FOR ASHES. "He has sent me to...bind up the brokenhearted...to comfort all who mourn...to give
them a crown of beauty in place of ashes..."Isaiah 61:1-3. 
Gathering Hope has hosted an annual
Gathering for miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss survivors since 2015.


This year, they are thrilled to announce that we have THREE different ways where you can
connect with the people who understand you most…other moms. 


1. Their first ever FULL DAY CONFERENCE! You will experience worship, be encouraged
by guest speakers, intentionally connect with other women, attend breakout sessions,
meet with specially selected vendors and MORE.

2. Attend Gathering 2022 Virtually. You’ll be able to simultaneously view the worship
session, our speakers *and* gather in breakouts rooms with other attendees, just like
we do at our in-person Gathering.

3. Gather with other loss moms in your area. By streaming the Gathering 2022 worship & speaker
​sessions and using the Leadership Kit as your guide, you’ll be empowered to host a Gathering!

How will YOU join them for Gathering 2022?

You matter, Mama. Your baby matters. Your story matters.
