More than 200 educators, students, and prevention professionals gathered to attend the Youth Suicide Prevention Conference held this fall in downtown Portland. Funded by the Oregon Health Authority and hosted by Lines for Life, the conference featured an inspiration line up of trainers, speakers, and panelists, and closed with a powerful message from the volunteers and staff of YouthLine. Thank you to all who attended and helped with the conference!
Zipped files of the Powerpoint presentations and handouts from the conference are now available. Please check back for new additions.
