Suicide Prevention Training To Be Held In Bemidji

The National Alliance on Mental Illness Minnesota (NAMI) is offering a two-day training for suicide loss survivors to learn best practices for speaking safely and effectively about their loss.

Survivors of suicide loss are key partners in NAMI’s suicide prevention and postvention efforts. NAMI says, in a press release issued from the Minnesota Department of Health, that they are passionate about preventing suicide and letting loss survivors know they are not alone.

NAMI SurvivorVoices trainees are asked to present at postvention trainings. Suicide loss survivors should have at least two years between the loss of their loved one and attending the SurvivorVoices workshop.

SurivivorVoices participants are asked to fill out a volunteer application and complete an interview.

When: June 1 and 2, 2019, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Where: Minnesota Department of health – Bemidji Regional Office
705 5^th Street NW, Suite A
