2026 Connecting a Stronger Chain

"CONNECTING A STRONGER CHAIN"


Connecting Suicide Loss Support Through Every Professional, Every Survivor and the Other Critical Links


Springfield, Missouri

August 12 - 13, 2026

You are part of the chain! Connect your link!

If you support people after a suicide death, either clinically, in the workplace, in schools, in faith communities, or within crisis response, this is the room you need to be in!


Why here?


Most people have never heard the word postvention. That's exactly why survivors of suicide loss so often fall through the cracks of bereavement support!


Connecting a Stronger Chain brings together professionals, survivors, and community leaders to get aligned on what actually helps after a suicide death because we want support that is skilled, steady, and sustainable.


Who is it for?


  • Behavioral health professionals and agencies
  • HR, EAP, and corporate wellness leaders
  • School administrators, counselors, and educators
  • First responders and crisis response teams
  • Military personnel
  • Faith leaders and community organizations
  • Survivors and advocates who support survivors


What will you leave with?


  • Practical postvention frameworks you can apply immediately
  • Language and tools for supporting survivors over time (not just the first few days)
  • Clear guidance for organizational response and communication
  • Connections with other "links" in the chain so you are not doing this alone


Your Registration Includes


  • Two full conference days
  • Specialized presenters working in the field
  • Intermediate training opportunities
  • Full breakfast and lunch each day
  • Resources/toolkits
  • Vendors & Bookstore


Optional add-ons


  • Day 1 Dinner
  • CE Certificate (for applicable education hours)
  • Bundle packages to the Journey Thru Grief, "Surviving Suicide Loss Together" conference immediately following this conference on August 14 & 15, 2026 (and additional Day 1 Dinner)


Early bird is live now. If you have ever thought, "we'll catch the notes later," this isn't the year. The cost of getting it wrong is high, and the impact of getting it right is life-changing!
