Talking about suicide can be difficult, but these conversations matter. The Kane County Health Department invites community members to join
Conversations That Matter: A Webinar Series on Suicide in Kane County, a free, four-part webinar series focused on suicide prevention, mental health, and supporting people who may be struggling.
Whether you are a parent, caregiver, educator, healthcare professional, or community member, these sessions will offer practical information to help you recognize warning signs, support someone who may be at risk, and connect people with resources.
The series will explore suicide prevention across different age groups, with special attention to the needs of teens and older adults. Participants will learn about ways to reduce suicide risk, create safer environments, and support individuals and communities following a suicide death.
You only need to register once for the entire series. Attend one session, several sessions, or all four. You do not need to register separately for each webinar. Spanish interpretation will be available.
