"Sedgwick County -
Strengthening Lifelines"
Be Alert - Be Aware - Be Involved
Be-a-Link
September 7 - 13, 2008 is Suicide Prevention Week
National Suicide Prevention Week, sponsored by the
American Association of Suicidology, is September 7 -
13. The goal of Suicide
Prevention Week is to promote awareness and advocacy
about suicide prevention.
This
year’s theme, “Embracing Diversity in Research and
Practice,” acknowledges that efforts are underway and
focuses attention on the critical issue of better
preparing all those who are in a position to respond to
those at risk for suicide.
Understanding Alcoholism as a Community Issue
September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction
Recovery Month. To promote the hopeful and healing
message of recovery, COMCARE of Sedgwick County’s
Addiction Treatment Services (ATS) is participating in
the 18th annual observance of this event.
