AIM for Zero: Suicide Care is Health Care
September 28, 29 & 30, 2021
The 2022 Suicide Prevention Conference titled “Fostering Connections Across The Life Span” will be hosted by the New York State Office of Mental Health’s Suicide Prevention Center. The three-day, virtual conference will bring together internationally recognized experts to summarize the latest science around the importance of connection to both physical and mental health and provide practical examples of programs—for youth and families, working age adults, and older adults—that support and strengthen connection.
Drawing on decades of prevention science, this conference will showcase the importance of supporting connection across the lifespan as one of the most important things we can do to promote health, happiness, and wellbeing for everyone in the digital age.
