As a community of health care professionals and educators, we all have T.A.S.K.S. to do in order to help save lives and prevent suicide whenever possible.
While the field of suicidology is not an exact science, and it is difficult to predict who will end their lives, we are amassing more and more scientific, evidence-based information that can help put a stop to such tragic losses in our communities.
What is T.A.S.K.S. you ask?
Training and Awareness on Suicide from Kevin’s Song
This Recognition Certificate is something extra we are providing to qualifying attendees at our annual Kevin’s Song Conference on Suicide. The Conference on Suicide and School Summit offer a comprehensive program of educational sessions that focus on suicide.
To become qualified for T.A.S.K.S. recognition, you must be a licensed health care professional or educator. You will be required to attend every PLENARY SESSION during the 3-day Conference and attend at least 5 Breakout sessions. T.A.S.K.S. recognition is only available to attendees who register for the 3-day ALL ACCESS ticket. You can include the Plenary and Breakout sessions from both the School Summit and the Conference on Suicide in order to earn your T.A.S.K.S. recognition.
Not only will you earn CEUs, you will go home with a Certificate for your office, certifying to your colleagues and to the community that you have attended this comprehensive 3-day conference with its focus on suicide – awareness, research, prevention and treatment.
It is the policy of Kevin’s Song to protect the confidentiality of participant information related to its Conference on Suicide, including the identity of participants, and any information and materials submitted to Kevin’s Song by the participants. Kevin’s Song will not share participant identification or contact information to third parties without the advance written permission of Conference participant.

The MEMORIAL FOREST was created for the Kevin’s Song Fourth Annual Conference on Suicide to help us remember and honor some of the people who have died by suicide and to offer solace to those who were left behind. This Memorial Forest, which will be a virtual respite during the 2021 Conference of Suicide and School Summit, is made possible through the many generous donations to Kevin’s Song in memory of Adam Elbadawi.
All attendees, as part of registration, are invited to submit a name in memory of a loved one lost to suicide or to honor a survivor, and have the name inscribed on a Kevin’s Song bird which will decorate the trees. Attendees of the Conference will be able to visit the Memorial Forest and submit additional names for display in the Memorial Forest at any time during the three day conference. In this way, we remember that we are all connected in loss and fortified with hope.
