Suicide impacts people in many ways. For some, it's about the loss of a loved one, for others it's the experience of surviving an attempt to end their life, and for others it's about caring for a person experiencing a suicidal crisis. With this in mind, we acknowledge everyone who has been impacted by suicide.

The 2021 Suicide Prevention Symposium is being hosted by the Colorado School Safety Resource Center (CSSRC). The Symposium is highly regarded for its opportunities to collaborate, network and learn about new approaches to suicide prevention.
