 2nd Annual Suicide Prevention in the Black Community Summit
June 20, 2024, from 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM ET The Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation is honored to host the 2nd Annual Suicide Prevention in the Black Community Summit on June 20, 2024, from 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM ET. At the core of their values is an unwavering commitment to "Saving Lives Until Not One Is Lost." 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. Registration is free for OSPF members and $30 for non-members.
