It is recommended that anyone who is impacted by a loss to suicide contact the instructor before attending the training to determine their readiness for prevention training and to discuss any alternative programs which may be more appropriate. Similarly\, although Postvention training is focused on healing\, the subject matter may be difficult for newer survivors. Survivors are encouraged to contact Connect staff in advance to discuss their readiness for participation.***<br/><strong>For additional information and resources:</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><ul><br/><br/>	<li><a href="https://theconnectprogram.org/">Connect Postvention Website</a></li><br/><br/></ul><br/><br/><br/>Light refreshment served&nbsp\;<br/>&nbsp\;<br/><br/><br/><br/> For more information on this event\, go to https://pdnetworks.soesd.k12.or.us/public/events/view-event/12358/Connect-Postvention-Training-2025--
