Upcoming Events
Mental Health & Suicide Prevention
Sunday, September 15 | 11:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. | A105/107
As mental health concerns have increased in our country, so have the rates of suicide. Suicide thrives in silence. Together we can break this silence and create an open and supportive culture around suicide prevention.
Please join us as Dr. Amanda McGough, PhD., speaks on the risk factors and warning signs of suicide, and learn about what you can do to help yourself or your loved one.
Understanding Your Grief
Mondays beginning September 16 | 11 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. | Cornerstone House
The death of a loved one is a profound and life-altering experience – one which we need not go through alone. This six-part series will provide support and resources for those who are grieving, using Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s book, The Wilderness of Grief.
The number of participants is limited and participants are asked to commit to all six sessions.
Mental Health in Young Children
Sunday, October 6 | 11:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. | A101
The mental health of our young children is a concern for every parent and parents often feel ill equipped to help their children identify and talk about their emotions.
HopeWay’s Director of Child & Adolescent Services, Taren Coley, M.D. speaks with parents on how to identify mental health challenges, including anxiety in their young children. Dr. Coley will also provide parents with tools for helping their children recognize and manage their emotions.
