Please join us for this incredible opportunity to hear from the
region's leaders in Suicide Prevention during this training! Jennifer
Barron, Director of Training at Forefront Suicide Prevention, as well
as local community resources will join us for an evening of processing
and discussion around how we, as members of this community, can
prevent suicide in our youth. As part of this training, parents,
community providers, and natural supports for teens are encouraged to
come together to address the recent increase in teen suicides in
Snohomish County. Attendees will learn about suicide warning signs,
how to help our youth process the loss of a loved one, how to talk
about suicide, and how to support each other. Attendees will also have
the chance to meet with local service providers and gather resources
to distribute to their loved ones. Specifically, Ms. Barron will walk
us through the LEARN steps. The LEARN™ steps are designed to help
empower individuals to play a role in recognizing peers, friends, and
family who might be having thoughts of suicide, and to know how and
where we can refer those individuals to keep them safe. L: Look for
Warning Signs E: Empathize and Listen A: Ask directly about Suicide R:
Remove the Danger N: Next Steps This learning opportunity is FREE to
all attendees. *Location may be changed to a meeting room with larger
capacity based on group size, so please check for location updates.
*No childcare provided at this time.
