Over the past year, TSL and LETS have been accepted into the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) Best Practices Registry (BPR). In this session, Programs and Impact Measurement will discuss BPR’s recognition process, lessons learned, as well as future plans for submitting additional AFSP programs. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of common misconceptions around evidence-informed and evidence-based programs and ways to communicate evidence to different audiences. Chapter staff will also share examples of how they have used evidence-informed language and BPR recognition in their work, from grant applications to pitching AFSP programs in their communities.

The loss of someone to suicide can have a profound impact. For clinicians and healthcare professionals, that grief can carry additional layers when the person who died was someone we cared for, worked alongside, supervised, mentored, or supported professionally.
In recognition of International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, this virtual gathering offers a confidential, supportive space for clinicians and healthcare providers who have experienced the suicide death of a patient or client, colleague, supervisee or mentee, or staff member.
Together, we will honor those we have lost, acknowledge the unique and sometimes complicated experience of professional suicide loss, and create space for reflection, connection, and healing. Participants will be invited to engage in remembrance, guided reflection, conversation, and practices that support hope and self-care. Sharing is always optional.
Please note: This is an affinity gathering specifically for clinicians and healthcare providers who have experienced a suicide loss within their professional role or healthcare community. To protect the purpose and emotional safety of the gathering, registration is limited to individuals with this lived professional experience.
You do not have to carry this loss only in your role as the helper. For one hour, you are invited to simply come as you are and be with others who understand.

She is the author of Helping the Suicidal Person and Loving Someone with Suicidal Thoughts, and the founder of the widely used resource website Speaking of Suicide.
