This in-person learning opportunity will focus on providers of suicide prevention across the Midwest, from coalitions and organizations dedicated to preventing suicide and promoting mental health wellness, prevention professionals, healthcare professionals, veteran-serving organizations, community leaders, and others dedicated to community solutions to address suicide as a public health need.

Participants can choose from the two-day Conference Track featuring information and techniques used in suicide prevention, or the three-day Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Skills training. The two tracks can not be combined. 

The general community two-day conference track is helpful to anyone who seeks knowledge on suicide prevention. Sessions feature information on positive psychology, eating for mental well-being, the impact of social media, anxiety, and other related topics.

The three-day track will feature Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as a structured program of psychotherapy with a strong educational component designed to provide skills for managing intense emotions and negotiating social relationships. Originally developed to curb the self-destructive impulses of chronic suicidal patients, it is also the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, emotion dysregulation, and a growing array of psychiatric conditions.
