SUMMARY:Erie County Suicide Prevention Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Erie County Suicide Prevention Conference 2023\nDate and time: Wednesday\, September 27 · 8am – 4:45pm EDT \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Ambassador Hotel and Conference Center\, 7794 Peach St Erie\, PA 16509 \nRegister online. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\n“A Public Health Approach to Suicide Prevention: Recognizing and Supporting All Areas of Our Lives (based on the CDC’s Seven Suicide Prevention Strategies).” \nOur Keynote Speaker\, Matt Dorgan\, was born and raised in York\, Pennsylvania. It was after the loss of his daughter Brianna to suicide\, December 3\, 2020 that Matt decided that things need to change. Matt wanted to channel his grief into something positive for the community so others would not have to suffer the way Brianna suffered and so other parents would not have to suffer the grief of having to bury a child. In January 2021\, Matt started putting together an awareness and fundraising event called Building Bridges for Brianna. After several weeks Matt decided we need to build the bridge between people that need help and people that can provide help. That was when Matt realized that this cannot be an event\, it needs to be a movement and expanded the organization to reach as many people as he can. \nOther speakers represent various agencies and resources within the Erie community and serve to build a foundation for support\, intervention and suicide prevention in our own community. \nProgram Schedule: \nRegistration/Check-In : 8:00am-8:45amWelcome\, Introductions & Keynote: 8:45am -10:15amBREAK: 10:15am-10:30am \nBreakout Session 1 (will be selected on day of conference):11:00am – 12:00 pm \nOPTION 1A : “988 and Collaboration with Law Enforcement in Erie County” :Stacey Buettner & Tracy Carlini \nOPTION 1B : “Harm Reduction”: Cortney Elliot\, Sarah Suhan\, and Shannon Brown \nOPTION 1C: “Heroes Need Help Too”: Robin Archer and Pensiri Nuk Kongkaw-Oden \nLUNCH BUFFET (INC.
