The Dougy Center to premiere new DVD on April 13th

Join us for the premiere of Understanding Suicide, Supporting Children, Wednesday, April 13, 7 p.m., at the Hollywood Theater, 4122 N.E. Sandy Blvd in Portland.

The new DVD, created by The Dougy Center, provides insight on the emotions and experiences that children, teens and families bereaved after a suicide death often go through. It also provides helpful information on understanding suicide and supporting those who are grieving.

A Q&A discussion will follow the showing of the DVD.

The DVD was made possible by a generous grant from Regence.

The 44th Annual American Association of Suicidology Conference is also being held in Portland, April 13 to 16. For more information, visit their website.
