[YSPNetwork] Suicide Survivor Day Conferences Saturday

[Donna NOONAN]

Dear YSPNetworkers,
Tomorrow, November 21, is National Survivors of Suicide Day. There are conferences being held throughout the country, including 6 in Oregon and 3 in Washington, 1 in Idaho, and 9 in Montana. 
 
For locations, go to http://www.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_ID=A64BC9F5-F60C-9211-5C45FFBE20A3FB37.
 
You also may sign up to watch the conference from your own home and to see previous conferences sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (www.afsp.org). 
 
A colleague just sent me a link to a news story about suicide survivors (a suicide survivor is anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide), After suicide takes their loved ones, survivors find purpose.
 Read the article at http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/11/19/suicide.survivors.irpt/index.html 
 
Take care and have a good weekend.
Warmly,
Donna
