A Little Bit About SPIN
The Brandon Suicide Prevention Implementation Network (SPIN) is an innovative network of community people interested in helping to prevent suicide.
SPIN's goals are to:
- promote awareness and understanding that suicide is a problem that needs to be addressed;
- initiate wellness activities that help to strengthen resilience and increase protective factors;
- work to reduce the stigma associated with seeking help;
- provide the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST);
- increase awareness of crisis supports and resources; and,
- promote services and supports for those bereaved by suicide.
