     Join us as we present Plymouth County Suicide Prevention Coalition for a very informative program, Talk Saves Lives. This program is a AFSP standardized, education program that provides participants with a clear understanding of his leading cause of death, including the most up-to-date research on suicide prevention, and what they can do in their communities to save lives. Participants will learn common risk factors and warning signs associated with suicide, and how to keep themselves and others safe.

Topics include: Scope of the Problem: The latest data on suicide in the U.S. and worldwide.         

Research: Information from research on what causes people to consider suicide, as well as health, historical, and environmental factors that put individuals at risk.
 

Prevention: An understanding of the protective factors that lower suicide risk, and strategies for managing mental health and being proactive about self-care.
 

What You Can Do: Guidance on warning signs and behaviors to look for, and how to get help for someone in a suicidal crisis.
