| Description: |
Each year, more than 30,000 people in the United States die
by suicide, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of spouses, partners, children, parents, siblings, friends, relatives, co-workers, and healthcare professionals to survive this tragic loss. The third annual North Carolina Triangle Conference for Survivors of Suicide is being held this year on Saturday, November 20 from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM at the Tate-Turner-Kuralt Building on the UNC campus at Chapel Hill.
Sponsored by the Triangle Survivors of Suicide (SOS) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the Conference is part of a National Survivors of Suicide Day, which is held each year the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Its purpose is to help survivors express and understand the troubling and powerful emotions they have experienced. On that day, a national program will link more than 60 local conferences through a live satellite broadcast. In addition, the local conference in Chapel Hill will have keynote speaker, Meggan Moorhead, Ed.D, Professor, Dept. of Psychology, UNC at Chapel Hill; a group of panelists; and breakout groups in the afternoon for individuals who have suffered a particular kind of relationship loss through suicide. One of the breakout groups is for healthcare professionals who also deal with the aftermath of suicide. |
