About this Event
CARLISLE COUNSELING & CONSULTING SERVICES, LLC presents the Annual Teen Suicide Summit: You Matter!
Suicide has become a critical topic in the news and popular entertainment, particularly concerning our teens. Our community possesses the power to significantly enhance children's mental health just by being informed about the risk factors and warning signs that may lead to suicide. We must be proactive in making ourselves available to any child in need, learning how to engage in caring conversations, and reassuring them that help is always within reach.
The Teen Suicide Summit offers a vital gathering of educators, licensed professionals, and community members, providing a safe space to discuss, act, and ultimately save the lives of our youth through awareness, intervention, and prevention.
Our summit will feature keynote speakers, interactive breakout sessions, and resources for teens and parents. You'll have the opportunity to connect with other teens who have experienced mental health challenges and learn from experts in the field.
This year, we are excited to announce that we are offering 4 CEUs (for a fee) to the social work community. The fee is $30.00 (That's 1 HR FREE!!!)
The event is free to all other registrants!
The event will take place on Saturday, September 27th, 2025 at 1640 West County Line Road, Jackson, MS 39174. Doors will open at 8:30 am , for registration, and the summit will run until 2:30 pm.
Don't miss this chance to learn, grow, and connect with others who care about teen mental health. Register now to secure your spot!
