suicideTALK
Featuring: Monica Parmley-Frutiger, LCSW
When: 8:30am-12:00pm
Purpose
suicideTALK invites interested community members to become more aware of suicide prevention opportunities in their community. Dealing openly with the stigma around suicide, this exploration focuses on the question, “Should we talk about suicide?” As a suicideTALK-informed session member, you will be better able to:
• understand how personal and community beliefs about suicide affect suicide stigma and safety;
• appreciate how the steps taught in suicideTALK can be used to help prevent suicide;
• choose among ways to help protect, preserve and promote life in a suicide-safer community;
• identify additional resources and training opportunities to foster more in-depth knowledge of suicide prevention and intervention.

Purpose
• During this interactive forum participants will explore how to build protection in communities, schools, and families using the Social Development Strategy (SDS).

• Participants will learn and practice using the SDS and its components to design activities that will build protection in families, schools, coalitions, and communities.
Kevin Haggerty specializes in prevention programs at the community, school and family level. For more than 30 years, he has focused on developing innovative ways to organize the scientific knowledge base for prevention so that parents, communities and schools can better identify, assess and prioritize customized approaches that meet their needs.
Dr. Haggerty is the director of the Social Development Research Group. In 2017 he became the holder of the Endowed Professorship in Prevention at the School of Social Work. Previously, he had been the assistant director and associate director of the research group as well as the School's director of research.

In addition, he is researching the intersection of biological and environmental risks for drug abuse in a study that focuses on emerging adults. He has also been an active collaborator with other research groups, including Iowa State University’s Partnerships in Prevention Science Institute and Boy’s Town of Omaha, Nebraska.
His interest in the efficient and effective transition of tested programs into real-world settings has led to his involvement as principal investigator in two research grants that focus on adapting the Staying Connected with Your Teen program for use in drug-treatment and foster-care settings.
