The TRUTH about Suicide: A Faith-Based Workshop on Suicide Prevention and Intervention

Join us for "The TRUTH about Suicide," an engaging and interactive workshop where we will explore one of the most difficult topics of our time through the lens of scripture. This event aims to provide a compassionate, faith-centered perspective on suicidality while equipping participants with practical tools and strategies for prevention and intervention.

We will discuss crucial questions that often leave many feeling confused and uncertain: How do we, as followers of Jesus, reconcile the reality of suicidality with our faith?
