Community for Care – Presentation on Suicide Prevention

The Community for Care Committee brings town and school officials together with community members to discuss, communicate and problem-solve issues of mental health and substance abuse in our community.  The attached presentation provides valuable information to the public about suicide prevention, addressing some of the myths about what will or will not help a person in danger of suicide and providing advice and resources for those with questions about how to help.  The presentation features Assistant Superintendent of Public Services Sue Homrok-Lemke and Thomas Steen, Executive Director of the Capitol Area Substance Abuse Council and can be viewed at the following link: Suicide Prevention Presentation
