What is it?

Answers is a free seminar series on suicide prevention that helps participants notice the signs that a loved one might be in pain and develop the confidence to ask questions and the skills to help.

Who is it for?

Individuals or caregivers who may know a person at risk for suicide.

Why do they do it?

The tragedy of a suicide is not only the loss of life, but also the missed opportunity to help. In most suicide situations, at least one attempt was made to reach out. A struggling person’s words or subtle signs are frequently missed, dismissed or avoided. The trainer is herself a survivor of suicide – her father took his own life, and she has made multiple attempts to take her own. Now, she has dedicated her life to this issue and is the founder of the Utah Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Impact

The first of these quarterly seminars brought in 30 participants.
