Council to host presentation

The Quay County Health Council will host an online community presentation on March 4 on suicide prevention.

Dr. Avron Kriechman is one of the state’s leading experts in suicide prevention. Kriechman will debunk some myths about the topic. Most people are suicidal for only a short period of time, and if they are given some tools including a safety plan, the suicide attempt can be prevented.

In addition, the community around the victim is deeply affected by a death by suicide. Kriechman will share ideas for helping the community heal.

The presentation will be from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. March 4 over a Zoom videoconference and broadcast on Facebook Live. It is open to the public free of charge.
