Feedback

“This was the best suicide training I’ve done and Dr Sung did a great job recognizing and incorporating the complexities at play.”

“This was a really excellent and valuable training – information was dense but it was so important and time was used very efficiently. I appreciate that breakout rooms/activities were well-structured and concrete, and that the group as a whole could discuss afterwards. All of the presenters are exceptionally knowledgeable and evidence-based, but also humble and open to experiences of others in the room. Thank you for offering this training!”

“Definitely the best suicide prevention training I have ever taken. The stats provided about suicide rates were quite reassuring and helpful to calm provider nerves!”
