Join Emmalie Langan, Training Coordinator for Samaritans of Merrimack Valley, for a presentation on suicide prevention. Samaritans is a suicide prevention and postvention (after a suicide death) center serving the northeast area of MA since 1980 and a program of Family Services of the Merrimack Valley, which is a social service agency with over 20 different programs serving the Merrimack Valley. With over 135 suicide deaths per day in the US, it is important to be able to recognize when a friend or family member may be struggling with thoughts of suicide. Knowing when to ask, “Are you thinking about taking your life?” is an important first step in helping someone. This presentation will help provide participants with the information necessary to possibly save a life. After this presentation, audience members will be able to:     Understand the prevalence of suicide in the US     Dispel the myths around suicide     Recognize the risk factors and warnings signs of possible suicide risk as well as protective factors     Be able to openly and nonjudgmentally talk with someone who may be at risk     Better understand what risk level a person may be at (non-clinically)     Have the resources available to get help for the person There will be time to ask questions at the end of this presentation. Emmalie has been the Samaritans training coordinator for over 4 years and has facilitated various programs, including Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR), Youth Mental Health First Aid as well as trainings focused on working aged people and elders. She comes to Samaritans with experience as a peer counselor for LBGTQIA+ young adults and working in youth and homeless services. Register via Zoom here.
