Introduction to Supporting Those at Risk is a 60-minute presentation that
provides introductory information on how to support someone with lived
experience. Participants who are interested in learning the basics of
supporting someone with lived experience will learn what research tells us
about suicide and understand the process of recovery and the complex effects
that a suicidal crisis can have on a family or support system. The target
audience for this presentation are those who support someone with lived
experience and community members interested in an introductory education
program. Participants will learn strategies for helping to support someone with
lived experience, as well as relevant resources.

On behalf of Mental Health Awareness Month, North Valley Music School and the Nate Chute Foundation will host a Music & Mental Health Panel to explore the relationship between music and wellness.

The panel will take place Tuesday, May 17 at the Black Box Theater in Whitefish High School. Doors open at 6 pm with the panel occurring from 6:30- 8 pm. The event is free and open to the public, though pre-registration is required.
​
Moderated by the Nate Chute Foundation, the panelists will discuss how music and mental health are correlated and explore music's unique ability to unify people in difficult times. The panelists will also share their stories and explain how music has helped impact their own mental health journeys.

​A brief introduction to suicide prevention

Suicide can be prevented. This presentation will cover what we know about this leading cause of death, the most up-to-date research on prevention, and what we can all do to fight suicide.
