'Hope Lives: Preventing Teen Suicide' Virtual Film Screening & Panel Discussion
Join us on Tuesday, November 14th at 5:30 pm for a virtual film screening of "Hope Lives: Preventing Teen Suicide." This KUED film, released in 2016, focuses on teen suicide in Utah. The film highlights three stories — a promising young athlete who took his own life, a young man now in his late 20s who talks candidly about his suicide attempt as a teen, and a young transgender teen who also survived her suicide attempt with a reaffirmed desire to live.
Following the screening, we will hear from Dr. Greg Hudnall, founder of Hope Squads, Lee Flinn with the Idaho Crisis & Suicide Hotline, and Dr. Gretchen Gudmundsen with St. Luke's Children's. This free virtual event has been curated for families and community members in the Boise area who have been impacted by suicide loss, suicidal ideation/attempts, or are interested in advocating for mental health and wellness.

We encourage all participants to have attended suicide prevention training prior to joining, to ensure that we have a common language and a basic understanding of suicide prevention and intervention. To attend a complimentary online & on-demand QPR training, please click here.
