Registration begins: 9:00 a.m. | Event: 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. We all have a role to play in promoting mental health and preventing suicide. Whether you're a parent, coach, faith leader, educator, healthcare professional, coworker, friend, or neighbor, the right knowledge and tools can help you recognize when someone may be struggling, offer support, and connect them to resources. Hosted by the UNC Suicide Prevention Institute (SPI), the Path to Prevention is a community-centered summit and training event designed for individuals who want to build a stronger foundation in mental health and suicide prevention. Whether you're new to these topics or looking to better understand how to recognize concerns and connect others with support, this event will provide practical, accessible knowledge and resources. This event is open to all and is especially appropriate for anyone interested in learning the basics of suicide prevention. Participants will: · Learn about stigma reduction, crisis services, and facilitating healing. · Hear from community members, leaders, and professionals sharing practical strategies and lived experiences. · Explore approaches to strengthening primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention efforts. · Leave with tangible tools, resources, and connections to support mental wellness in their communities. We encourage you to share this event with your networks, especially community members who may be new to suicide prevention and want to learn how they can contribute to a culture of care and connection. *This event will cover topics that may be sensitive for some attendees. Please take care of yourself in whatever way feels right. You are welcome to step away at any time, seek support from event staff, or call, text, or chat with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline whenever you need.
