Domestic Abuse & Suicide SPC Monthly Educational Talk
February 10, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The Suicide Prevention Coalition (SPC) talk will provide education around Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), its connection to suicide, and some tools to offer support to those in this type of challenging situation. IPV can have a traumatizing impact on those involved and suicidal thoughts, depression, and anxiety can all be byproducts of such experiences, so we are here to support you.
When? February 10th, 2022 from 7:00-8:30pm.
Where? Virtually on Zoom platform, for your convenience and safety.
