The Iowa Suicide Prevention Coalition Summit will be held on Thursday, Aug. 27, at the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center in Ames. This summit is sponsored by the Iowa Suicide Prevention Planning Committee, Iowa Primary Care Association, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and the North Central Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Center.
The summit will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions and interactive workshops designed to provide coalition members and other attendees with the latest information on suicide risk factors and resources to assist their communities.

We hope that you will be able to join us for what promises to be a truly inspiring and informative gathering.”
