GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich., Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Registration continues for Michigan's largest conference on suicide — the Kevin's Song 9th Annual Conference on Suicide: Creating & Supporting Lives Worth Living. Featuring a prominent roster of mental health professionals, educators, and advocates, the conference takes place January 23–25, 2025, at Saint John's Resort in Plymouth.
The three-day conference gathers educators, mental health professionals, first responders, clergy, suicide prevention advocates, veterans, students, community leaders, survivors of suicide loss, attempt survivors, and their families. This year's theme emphasizes cultivating a culture where everyone experiences and embraces a life worth living.

The Friday training program runs concurrently with the regular conference and will provide faith leaders including pastors, chaplains, spiritual leaders, pastoral counselors, imams, rabbis and ministers training to help prevent suicide, combat stigma, and provide care and comfort to all those affected by suicide.
