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.

Their upcoming summit revolves around "Moving Hope into Action: Faith, Family, and Community," embodying their mission to initiate change. 
During this summit, community leaders, healthcare providers, and public officials from across the state
will come together to learn about the factors that contribute to suicide in the Black community and walk
away with the next steps that will change how we approach suicide prevention in the future. 

The goal of this summit is to build upon the success of last year's event and address the most relevant
and cutting-edge strategies and resources to help facilitate, strengthen, and increase capacity and support resiliency to address suicide in the Black community in a culturally responsive way. Their primary focus is to destigmatize, normalize, and break the silence surrounding these issues while striving to strengthen efforts
to educate and advocate for mental health wellness for individuals, families, and communities impacted
by suicide in the Black Community. Your support will contribute to a collective effort to foster a community
that prioritizes mental health, breaks down barriers, and saves lives. Help make a lasting impact on the
journey toward mental health awareness and suicide prevention in the Black Community.

Suicide Prevention Week - Sept 10-16, 2023

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Suicide Prevention Week September 10-16, 2023
Suicide Prevention Week
September 10-16, 2023
September is Suicide Prevention Month in the USA, with National Suicide Prevention Week from
September 10-16, 2023, and World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10. During this month,
week and day, individuals and organizations will be drawing attention to the problem of suicide
and advocating the prevention of this tragedy. 
It’s a time to share resources and stories and promote
suicide prevention awareness. All around the nation, suicide prevention organizations will conduct
prevention and awareness events. 
In 2021, suicide was among the top 9 leading causes of death for
people ages 10-64
. Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 20-34. 
Suicide is a national health crisis. Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect
anyone regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status, or background. Suicide is sometimes the result
of a mental health condition. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal
and often indicate more serious issues. Consider making a tax-deductible donation to support the
Idaho Crisis & Suicide Hotline. Even $5 or $10 would make a difference and could help save lives! 
​
To donate, visit www.idahocrisis.org/donate. If you or a loved one need to talk, call ICSH now.
You don't have to be suicidal to call.  Someone is always here for you on the other end of the line.
Call or text 988 or visit 
www.idahocrisis.org to chat online.
