Compassion Center for SAMSHA Suicide Prevention

As part of Mental Health Awareness Month and SBPL’s Book to Action focused on mental health and suicide, Santa Barbara Public Library is hosting a Compassion Center with Santa Barbara Response Network (SBRN).

This Compassion Center, will be about suicide, suicidology, suicidal thoughts, signs to be aware of, and resources available in our community and nationally. A particular focus on supporting our youth in Santa Barbara will be part of this conversation. The experiences of loved ones and survivors is eminently important in the conversation and can help bridge the conversation for those that may be in need.

The discussion will be followed by a Q&A hosted by SBRN and SBPL.
