If learning the truth about what had been going on for years at Penn State University won’t move men to challenge rape culture, what will? For men, it’s long past time to leave the sidelines of indifference in the face of grievous acts of troubled men

Saturday, June 18 · 12:00pm – 6:00pm
Bentley University, Waltham, MA

Keynote Speech: Dr. Caitlin Ryan, Director of the Family Acceptance Project

Breakout Session Topics:

  • Creating Safe Spaces across the Lifespan
  • Why Words Matter in Media and Social Media
  • Making Mental Health an LGBT National Priority
  • The Interface of Stigma, Psychiatric Vulnerability and Depression and Coming out as LGBT
  • Suicide Prevention in Transgender Communities

The Greater Boston Chapter of AFSP has designed this program to place LGBT Suicide Prevention on the state and national agenda and provide a framework for actions aimed at reducing suicidal behavior in these populations. This call to action seeks to address gaps in knowledge and prevention.

Background and Genesis of the Symposium:

Despite four decades of research pointing to elevated rates of suicide attempts among LGBT people, national suicide prevention initiatives, including the 2001 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, have given scant attention to suicide risk in sexual minority persons. AFSP convened a 2007 conference to assess the status of data on the issues and examine the targeted interventions, prevention strategies or public health polices needed to reduce risk in these populations. The subsequent report on suicide and suicide risk appeared in as the lead article in the January 2011 issue of the Journal of Homosexuality and served as the impetus for the conference.
