2023 Stronger Together: Building Assets for Brookings
- This event has passed.
On February 20th, we invite you to participate in Stronger Together: Building Assets for Brookings, A Day for Suicide Awareness.
Our community continues to face many changes, adjustments, and challenges. Brookings has shown great resiliency, but behavioral health has continued to be an ongoing struggle for many. In Brookings County, we continue to see alarming rates of behavioral health struggles and deaths by suicide among our members. We as a community need to come together for those who need us most during a time of great need.
On behalf of South Dakota State University, The University of South Dakota and Avera Behavioral Health, we would like to invite you to the table to aid in this effort. Research tells us the best way all of us can help is by building evidence-based communication skills around suicide, harm reduction, reducing access to means and support in connection to resources along with creating a sense of community.
On February 20th, 2023, we invite you to participate in our community-wide event, Stronger Together: Building Assets for Brookings, A Day for Suicide Awareness, at The Swiftel Center. This community event is focused on raising awareness to the effects of trauma and evidence-based strategies to build resiliency and suicide prevention efforts. We would like to extend a number of commitment options.
