The aim of the 2019 Prevent Suicide Hawaiʻi Statewide Conference is to bring together our community of survivors, advocates, educators, service providers, policymakers, and health professionals around the issue of suicide prevention. The conference will increase our awareness of suicide prevention, our skills to respond to those at risk, and our abilities to help those who have survived the loss of a loved one.

Keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Christine Moutier, Chief Medical Officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
