PsyMood and UMind were excited to bring our Youth and Child mental health professionals to talk about Suicide Prevention Month during the last week of Yellow September. This webinar will cover: How do we prevent youth suicide? What can we do to support a healthy mind? How do we create hope for our future? This was an opportunity for people to ask questions about what they’re struggling with, or any other topic related to youth suicide prevention & life promotion.
Below are highlights from the session:
