SUMMARY:988 Formative Research: Messaging and Communications about 988 to People at Higher Risk for or Disproportionately Impacted by Suicide
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: Nov 7\, 2023 02:30 PM\nRegister online\n\n\nThis webinar will preview findings of the 988 Formative Research. These findings can help form the basis of future culturally sensitive\, responsive\, effective\, and successful 988 communications: First\, to make more people aware of 988 across the country\, and then to instill trust and confidence in the service so people will contact 988 when struggling with mental health\, or in a moment of crisis\, or in need of support. The webinar will also preview resources developed by the project that can support behavioral health agencies and service providers’ communication efforts to increase awareness and use of 988 in their communities.\n\nWith the nationwide transition to 988 as the 3-digit number for 24/7 support for anyone experiencing a mental health crisis or emotional distress\, a need arose for 988-specific formative research among groups at higher risk for or disproportionately impacted by suicide. The 988 Formative Research Project began in summer 2022 as a collaborative effort led by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance)\, the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC)\, and the Ad Council Research Institute (ACRI)\, supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).\n\nThe project fills a critical research gap and supports more informed 988 messaging and implementation efforts. Learning Objectives:\n• Learn about key findings from the 988 Formative Research.\n• Learn how this research can support communication efforts to increase awareness and use of 988 among groups at higher risk for or disproportionately impacted by suicide.

SUMMARY:Sharing Mental Health Information in Your Family
DESCRIPTION:Airing Wednesday\, October 18\, 2023\, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm ET \nRegister Now \nDo mental health conditions run in your family? It’s common for depression or bipolar disorder to exist across generations and relatives\, appearing on various branches of a family tree. Research shows that many mental health conditions are inheritable. In fact\, people with a family history of depression can be two to three times more likely to live with depression\, compared to the general population. \nA family’s mental health history can provide clues that help families and healthcare providers recognize potential mental health issues. By identifying these issues early\, people can get help sooner and interventions may result in better outcomes for those affected. Sharing information about mental health conditions that run in the family can help reduce stigma and encourage family members to seek help when needed. \nJoin Families for Depression Awareness on Wednesday\, October 18\, 2023\, from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm as Bruce Cohen\, MD\, PhD\,  discusses the role of genetics in mental health and how you can identify aspects of your family mental health history. You’ll also hear from Kenyatta Berry\, genealogist and former host of PBS’ “Genealogy Roadshow.” Ms. Berry will teach you how to talk about mental health history with your family–even when it is uncomfortable. Use the information  you learn to create a Mental Health Family Tree. \nRead more online.

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.
