This PEERvention 4-hour workshop is made possible in partnership with Agents of Impact, Holly and Dave Combs and our friends at the Pin Bureau. Holly and Dave Combs have been creating positive public art in Indianapolis since 2007 which led them to start the Department of Public Words. In addition to their primary focus on public art and public speaking, they are also working alongside Hope For The Day.

PEERvention is Hope For The Day's shorthand for Peer-to-Peer Proactive Su***de Prevention. The PEERvention Workshop is designed to educate you on the obstacles, tools, and strategies to enable proactive and effective mental health care as individuals and communities. Hope For The Day's pioneering program focuses on reducing su***de rates by disrupting and eliminating the highest risk factors for reaching a stage of mental health crisis. The biggest obstacle to effective prevention is the silence of stigma.

Our free monthly education opportunities are made possible through the support of Partners in Prevention, the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention and Banyan Treatment Center.

Please register to attend this free presentation, though walk-ins are welcome.

Together, we can prevent su***de, reminding everyone IT'S OK NOT TO BE OK.

*Note: There is a free parking lot adjacent to the Pin Bureau on the Alley side of the building, and the doors on the Alley side of the building will be unlocked for easy access.

Complimentary coffee and additional light refreshments will be provided.
