About the event
Kids with disabilities are at significantly higher risk for suicidal behavior. We will gather as a community to find ways to talk to our kids and to strategize with our kids about depression, bullying, suicidal thoughts and other issues they may face. This evening is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about suicide such as how to notice signs of distress and what resources there are, or needs to be, available in the community. There will be time to share ideas on how we can all support resiliency in our community. Our discussion will be led by Mike Bushman. Mike will share his story and help us gain some insight from someone who "has been there" and start a discussion on how we, as parents, can help.
There will be pizza available at 5:30 for a quick snack before the presentation and discussion starts. If pizza isn't your thing…
