2014 Bridging the Divide: Suicide Awareness and Prevention Summit
May 6-7, 2014
Regis University Lowell Campus (3333 Regis Blvd., Denver)

Join the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Colorado (SPCC) for the 2014 Bridging the Divide: Suicide Awareness and Prevention Summit on May 6-7, 2014 at the Regis University Lowell Campus in Denver, where we will explore the theme of Upstream, Downstream: Navigating the Waters of Suicide Prevention, Intervention and Grief Support. This state-wide conference, co-hosted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Office of Suicide Prevention, will explore ways to prevent suicide by increasing awareness and focusing on a time continuum from prevention to postvention.

Breakout sessions at the 2014 Bridging the Divide Summit examine the role of interventions that may affect the likelihood of suicide from early in the life cycle to aftercare for survivors and community members through our Prevention, Intervention and Postvention/Survivor Support tracks.
