The conference will be offering 2 1/2 days of workshops, caucuses and keynote speakers beginning Monday morning and continuing until noon on Wednesday. The call for proposals will be available soon, as will registration.

As our theme suggests, we will be reinforcing the values of peer support, as well as looking to the future as we increase our presence in many varied settings. We are asking all workshops to relate to  the National Practice Guidelines and will have opportunities to discuss the Guidelines and offer suggestions for additions and revisions as we design our future. We hope to have workshops that connect us to all settings including mental health, substance use, whole health and integrated care, forensics, youth and young adult, older adults, veterans, LGBTQ, and more. We also will welcome those involved in peer support as Family Partners.

We would like to invite scholars, relevant service providers, policy-makers and advocates to participate in roundtable discussions that provoke dialogue across a range of topics explore exploring critical approaches to suicide and how these can foster changes in policy and provision with real impact, real consultation and real engagement.
