RE: Upcoming Community Forum - Dealing with the Tragedy of
Suicide
DATE: October 10, 2008
The Redwood Area Hospital is sponsoring a community health forum
“A Parent’s Journey of Finding Comfort after the Tragedy of
Suicide,” on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 from 7-8pm. This free
community forum will be held at the Redwood Area Community
Center Room #3.
Presenting at the community forum will be Pastor Ron Traub who
will speak personally from a father’s perspective whose son
committed suicide. Pastor Traub will talk about how to recover
when a loved one dies of a tragic and senseless death, how to
respond as a community to support those grieving, and how to
help people with depression or any mental illness to enable them
to understand their illness is not a shameful thing but that
there is help and hope.
Following Pastor Traub’s presentation, Marci Robertson, Licensed
Psychologist from Western Mental Health Center will share
information about local mental health resources and support.
Both Pastor Traub and Ms. Robertson will be available following
the presentation to answer any questions you may have.
Other sponsors of this community health forum are: Redwood Area
Ministerial Association, Redwood Area Schools, Redwood County
Human Services, Redwood County Public Health and Woniya Kini.
If you would like more information, please contact Joleen
Johnson, LSW at the Redwood Area Hospital at 507-637-4616. This
information is also available on our website, along with other
resources to help assist those who may be grieving.
