“We envision a gathering which fosters connection, growth, and support for anyone navigating the complexities of suicide – whether personally, professionally, or with loved ones,” said Alex Lehning, Executive Director of the Vermont Collaborative for Practice Improvement & Innovation (VCPI). “The data is clear – we know that Vermonters are more at-risk for death by suicide, suicide attempts, and self-harm compared to the national average. The more we can talk about it, the more we can help save lives,” said Lehning.
