This is Greg Urquhart, Managing Director for Mental Health Academy (MHA). We are once again hosting the Suicide Prevention Summit this August 19-21, in partnership with the American Association of Suicidology (AAS), the American Counseling Association (ACA), the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

The singular goal of this free, online event is to advance education in suicide prevention. Last year we had more than 40,000 attendees and are expecting more than 50,000 this year!

I wanted to write to you directly as I believe this is an event/resource that everyone involved in mental health in Alabama would be interested in. Here's a snapshot of the event:

• 13 presentations and Q&A discussions (live-streamed August 19-21)
• On-demand, 24/7 access to all session recordings thru August 28^th (October 16^th for premium registrants)
• Accrue up to 13 CE Credits (NBCC & CCPA Approved CE)
• Speakers from leading organizations and institutions including the Beck Institute for CBT, LivingWorks, GSU, XULA, Virginia Tech, University of North Carolina, and more
• All registration revenue will be donated to charity and applied towards mental health and suicide prevention initiatives.
• Full info and a list of presenters can be found on the summit website

I hope that you and your colleagues will be able to join us. Please help us spread the word about this important resource to mental health professionals in Alabama by forwarding this email to your members, affiliates, and other groups and individuals you work with. I can also provide you with info to post on any resource page, event calendar, or social media account at your request.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or considerations. Thank you in advance,

Greg Urquhart
