The 2026 Kevin’s Song Suicide Prevention Education Summit will provide a unique outreach and marketing opportunity – access to professionals and laypersons involved in the fields of suicide research, treatment, prevention programs, crisis intervention, and aftercare. Thursday’s program will also provide access to an assembly of educators, school administrators, mental health professionals and community policymakers whose focus is on the mental health and wellness and welfare of young people around the State of Michigan.
We are anticipating over 400 attendees from around the state of Michigan, including mental health professionals, physicians and nurses, educators, first responders, veterans as well as business and community leaders to discuss suicide as a public health crisis in an effort to better understand and prevent suicide and save lives. The number of attendees at this highly regarded state-wide educational summit has increased every year.
Your support will also help survivors of a suicide loss and those with a lived experience to find support in their journey of healing and hope.
