Suicide impacts not just those who make an attempt but their families and friends as well. After someone you love has attempted suicide, there is a lot you need to know. The documentary we will be screening was created especially for parents, family, and friends who are impacted by suicide. It includes information from world-leading experts and insights from people who have been touched by suicide in their own lives. Whether you've experienced this yourself or just want to learn ways to be supportive of others going through a difficult time, this event is for you.

If you or a loved one is in crisis, please call or text the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. Help is available 24/7.
