Suicidology Conference

You've Got This: Pushing through the Pain

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

Location: Hybrid - Online & Laurel Manor 39000 Schoolcraft Rd, Livonia

Begins: 9:30 am

Ends: 1:30 pm

This conference is brought to you with the intention of creating awareness to the prevalence of suicide as well as methods of prevention and the detection of suicide risk factors. How can we work together through a multidisciplinary approach to tackle this epidemic?

Hope is the belief that circumstances will get better. It's not a wish for things to get better -- it's the actual belief, the knowledge that things will get better, no matter how big or small.

Agenda

Keynote Speaker Rafiah Maxie

Rafiah Maxie (she/her) is a Mother, Advocate, Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Founder of Soul Survivors of Chicago, NFP.

On May 27, 2020 her 19 year-old son completed suicide in her home.  She felt compelled to continue his legacy and share his story for others impacted by suicide and trauma in the African-American community.

Hear from staff of Veteran's Affairs, & Other Key Stakeholders
