Save the Date! Fresh Perspectives in Suicide Prevention - June 10, 2026 Prevention First's Mental Health Training and Technical Assistance (MHTTA) team is back with another year of amplifying the voices that matter most. Join us as we continue centering the expertise and lived experience of often underrepresented communities and perspectives in suicide prevention. Details and registration information coming soon!

At the Connections in Prevention Conference, we come together to strengthen our collective prevention efforts, focusing on community-driven approaches and person-centered care. Our goals are to encourage open dialogue about incorporating equity principles into our prevention efforts, offer opportunities for professional development, facilitate networking for meaningful collaborations, and highlight innovative best practices.

Embrace the mystery, elegance, and excitement of a classic masquerade as you celebrate the power of prevention with colleagues, friends, and community leaders from across Illinois. The Prevention First Masquerade offers the perfect opportunity to step into the spirit of the evening, capture memorable photos, and enjoy a unique atmosphere of fun and connection. Masks are encouraged but not required. What matters most is joining us for an unforgettable night of celebration, community, and impact.
