Event Details
PEERvention is Hope For The Day's shorthand for Peer-to-Peer Proactive Suicide Prevention. The PEERvention Workshop is designed to educate you on the obstacles, tools, and strategies to enable proactive and effective mental health care as individuals and communities. Hope For The Day's pioneering program focuses on reducing suicide rates by disrupting and eliminating the highest risk factors for reaching a stage of mental health crisis. The biggest obstacle to effective prevention is the silence of stigma.
Our free monthly education opportunities are made possible through the support of Partners in Prevention, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Banyan Treatment Center, and Janssen.
Please register to attend this free presentation, though walk-ins are welcome.
The November PEERvention 4-hour workshop is in honor of our Veterans & Active Duty Military communities and their families. We invite members of the general public and members of the veteran and active duty military communities to break the silence on mental health together. We will have representatives on hand from branches of the US Armed Forces share their perspectives in our community education workshop. Hope For The Day understands that at the end of the day, underneath their uniforms, these brave soldiers are just human beings. We continue to partner on many outreach and education initiatives with other veteran-focused organizations and we are proud to spotlight and honor our Veterans & Active Duty Military this month as Partners in Prevention.
Together, we can prevent suicide, reminding everyone IT'S OK NOT TO BE OK.
*Note: there is free limited parking in the Logan Square Library parking lot.
Complimentary coffee will be provided by Sip of Hope. Additional refreshments will be provided.
