Recent data confirm that every 2 days, someone in Hawaii dies from suicide. The purpose of this informational briefing is to bring awareness to this important public health issue. In addition, presentations will include information on how everyone in the community can play a role in suicide prevention – most importantly, knowing the warning signs of suicide, how to talk to a loved one who may be suicidal, and how to connect them to appropriate help/resources.
The following organizations have been invited to participate in this briefing:
· Department of Health
· Prevent Suicide Hawaii Task Force
· University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine
· Mental Health America of Hawaii
· Community representative of suicide survivors (those who have lost a loved one to suicide)
No Public Testimony will be accepted. Click here to review presentation materials.

· National Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-TALK (8255)
FOR AMENDED NOTICES: Measures that have been deleted are stricken through and measures that have been added are underscored. If a measure is both underscored and stricken through, that measure has been deleted from the agenda.
