March 25: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 (noon)Teen SuicideDina Levi, LPC, Riveredge Hospital
When a teen commits suicide, everyone is affected. Family members, friends, teammates, neighbors, and sometimes even those who didn't know the teen well might experience feelings of grief, confusion, guilt — and the sense that if only they had done something differently, the suicide could have been prevented. Come to understand the forces that can lead teens to suicide and learn how to help.
