The Coalition's mission is to increase awareness of and reduce the stigma towards depression and suicide in an effort to improve and save lives. The coalition has grown over the past years and is now comprised of various community agencies such as area health departments, schools, colleges, hospitals, sheriff departments, 4-H clubs, mental health agencies, as well as survivors after suicide. The coalition meets monthly at the Four County ADAMhs Board in Archbold. “Postvention as Prevention” March 30, 2015 Northwest State Community College, 22600 St. Rt. 34, Archbold, Ohio 43502 Voinovich Auditorium Mail to: BHPNWO, Attention: Diane Goyings ADAMhs Board For more information contact any of the below: T-761 St. Rt. 66 Sandra Manon (Survivor) Archbold, Ohio 43502 [email protected] Tonie Long (Four County Family Center) [email protected] Name: _____________________________ Phone: _____________________________ Pam Pflum (Four County ADAMhs Board) [email protected] Presenters: Frank Campbell, Ph.D., LCSW, C.T. and Roy Miller, Fulton County Sheriff Email: ______________________________ Sponsorship: CEU Information: Application has been made for 6.75 hours of continuing education for counselors, social workers, nurses, MFT, and chemical dependency counselors. Four County ADAMhs Board and Behavioral Health Professionals of Northwest Ohio Fulton, Defiance, Henry, Williams Counties, Ohio Agenda for March 30, 2015 8:00 a.m.– 8:30 a.m. Registration (Coffee and Rolls Included) Training Description 8:30 a.m.– 9:30 a.m. Understanding Your Values: This training is to prepare potential volunteers in Defiance, Fulton, Henry, and Williams Counties to respond to the home where new survivors are gathered. After a completed suicide, a team of 3-4 volunteers would be coordinated to respond to the home. 9:30 a.m.– 10:15 a.m. Loss History 10:15 a.m.– 10:30 a.m. Break The goal of the L.O.S.S. team is to help new survivors to feel supported from the very beginning of their tragic loss. The LOSS team would offer hope and share available services in our area. Follow-up contact would also be available to the family. Many survivors would seek help if they just knew where to go. Sadly, it is estimated that only one in four survivors seeks help after a suicide. We are seeking compassionate people to be trained. Survivors after a suicide are critical to this response but we are also inviting others to be trained such as ministers and health care providers. If participants are unsure that they want to be on a L.O.S.S. team, it is OK. They are still encouraged to attend, and decide after the training if this is a way they want to help others. Here are the number of families who could have been served in the past few years due to suicide.
