Suicide Prevention Training
MEO News Release
Suicide Prevention Basics, two-hour training workshops, will be offered by Maui Economic Opportunity Youth Services on Aug. 23 and 24 at MEO in Kaunakakai.
The trainings are for parents/guardians and will cover suicide risks, warning signs, how to listen, self-care and protective factors and resources available. This is a follow up to a town hall gathering on suicide prevention held July 27 in Kaunakakai.
