We are so proud of our AMAZING crisis team for all the invaluable work they do each and every day. What a wonderful opportunity it was to present their knowledge and expertise at the recent @NamiMaine conference. Michelle Hansen, Christina Cook, Harley High
This past Thursday, April 11, 2024, NAMI Maine held our annual 'Beyond the Basics in Suicide Prevention' Conference at the Hilton Garden Inn Freeport Downtown in Maine. A special #ThankYou goes out to our Keynote Speakers, Joanna Bridger & Kate Braestrup! 🙌 We are also grateful for all the groups who facilitated our breakout sessions, volunteers, and for all our amazing attendees 💙 Hope and Coping: Promoting Recovery to Strengthen Communities Since its inception in 2003, Maine’s annual Beyond the Basics in Suicide Prevention Conference has provided Maine health professionals, educators, clinicians, first responders, and community members with best practice information, guidance, and resources in suicide prevention and management efforts. This conference is designed for an adult audience that has attained basic training and knowledge in suicide and suicide prevention, and wishes to deepen their understanding of prevention and expand their skill set. #BeyondTheBasics #SuicidePrevention #NAMI #Maine #CommunityEvents #ContinuedEducation #LearnSomething NewEveryday
