Thank you to all the concerned professionals and citizens who attended our two-part forum Suicide Prevention: It Takes a Community on November 17, 2011 and January 19,2012.  The turnout and discussion were both exceptional. The Mental Health Task Force will be partnering with the Society for Prevention of Teen Suicides and Hazelden to identify our unique community needs and to help train school professionals in suicide prevention.
