SUMMARY:VILLAGE ASSOCIATIF : VOTRE PRESENCE PEUT FAIRE LA DIFFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:A l’occasion de la Journée Mondiale de la prévention du suicide (JMPS)\, célébrée chaque 10 septembre à l’initiative de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS)\, le Réseau VIES Centre-Val de Loire et le Centre Régional de Prévention du Suicide CVL organisent\, en partenariat avec le Centre commercial L’Heure Tranquille\, la 3ᵉ édition de leur Village Associatif\, le samedi 12 septembre 2026 de 14h à 20h à Tours.\nAu programme :\n• Des stands d’information tenus par les associations et structures du territoire engagées dans la prévention du suicide et le soutien aux personnes en souffrance ;\n• Des animations ludiques et conviviales\, ouvertes à tous\, pour aborder le sujet autrement ;\n• Un micro-comptoir\, temps d’échange informel avec le public ;\n• La participation de la Fanfare de Médecine de Tours\, pour une ambiance musicale chaleureuse et fédératrice.\n> Informations pratiques\nVillage Associatif pour la prévention du suicide – Samedi 12 septembre 2026\, 14h-20h\nCentre commercial L’Heure Tranquille\, Tours\nPar : Réseau VIES Centre-Val de Loire et Centre Régional de Prévention du Suicide CVL\, en partenariat avec le CC L’Heure Tranquille – MANIFESTATION GRATUITE\, OUVERTE A TOUS\nCe rendez-vous s’inscrit dans le thème de l’International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) : « Changer le discours sur le suicide ».\nL’objectif est de passer d’une culture du silence à une culture d’ouverture\, d’empathie et de soutien\, en encourageant chacun — individus\, familles\, professionnels\, institutions — à parler du sujet sans tabou ni jugement. Contrairement à une idée reçue persistante\, parler des idées suicidaires n’augmente pas les passages à l’acte : cela permet au contraire d’orienter les personnes en souffrance vers une écoute et une aide adaptées.\nInformer\, libérer la parole et créer du lien\, un village où votre présence peut faire la différence\nPour la troisième année consécutive\, le Village Associatif investit les allées du Centre commercial L’Heure Tranquille pour aller à la rencontre du grand public. L’objectif : faire connaître les professionnels et les ressources du territoire capables de répondre aux situations d’isolement et d’apporter un soutien aux personnes concernées\, de près ou de loin\, par la question du suicide — et proposer des animations conviviales pour libérer la parole et lever le tabou. \n  \nEnglish: \nTo mark World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD)\, held every 10 September at the initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO)\, the VIES Centre-Val de Loire Network and the CVL Regional Suicide Prevention Centre are organising\, in partnership with the L’Heure Tranquille shopping centre\, the 3rd edition of their Community Village\, on Saturday 12 September 2026 from 2pm to 8pm in Tours. \nProgramme: \n\nInformation stands run by local associations and organisations working in suicide prevention and support for people in distress;\nFun\, welcoming activities\, open to all\, to approach the subject differently;\nA “micro-comptoir”\, an informal space for conversation with the public;\nA performance by the Tours Medical School Brass Band\, for a warm and unifying musical atmosphere.\n\n\nPractical information\nCommunity Village for suicide prevention – Saturday 12 September 2026\, 2pm-8pm\nL’Heure Tranquille shopping centre\, Tours\nBy: VIES Centre-Val de Loire Network and CVL Regional Suicide Prevention Centre\, in partnership with L’Heure Tranquille shopping centre – FREE EVENT\, OPEN TO ALL \n\nThis event follows the theme of the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP): “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”. \nThe aim is to move from a culture of silence to one of openness\, empathy and support\, encouraging everyone\, individuals\, families\, professionals and institutions\, to talk about the subject without taboo or judgement. Contrary to a persistent misconception\, talking about suicidal thoughts does not increase suicide attempts: on the contrary\, it helps direct people in distress towards appropriate support and a listening ear. \nInforming\, opening up conversation and building connection: a village where your presence can make a difference. \nFor the third year running\, the Community Village takes over the walkways of the L’Heure Tranquille shopping centre to reach the general public. The aim: to raise awareness of the local professionals and resources able to respond to situations of isolation and to support people affected\, directly or indirectly\, by the question of suicide\, and to offer welcoming activities that open up conversation and break the taboo.

SUMMARY:ESPPA 2026 Symposium: Changing the Narrative on Suicide – Safer Transitions
DESCRIPTION:Join us in a beautiful Wrocław\, Poland or online (only for e-poster viewing session) for the very special WSPD-associated event – inaugural international symposium of the European Suicidology\, Prevention & Postvention Association (ESPPA) – the very first formal Europe-wide\, newly registered association\, bringing together suicidology\, suicide prevention and postvention\, with participation of  IASP SIG Education and Training in Suicide Prevention representative\, as well as Section of Suicidology EPA for strengthening of suicide prevention and postvention in Europe. \nThe ESPPA 2026 Symposium\, “Changing the Narrative on Suicide: Safer Transitions”\, focuses on one of the most critical and insufficiently addressed periods in suicide prevention: the transition from hospital care to outpatient\, community and family support. \nThe first days after discharge from psychiatric hospital require urgent attention. \nDo you even know\, that research has estimated a suicide rate of approximately 2\,950 deaths per 100\,000 person-years during the first week following psychiatric discharge – around 200–300 times the rate observed in the general population? Discharge must therefore be understood not as the end of care\, but as a high-priority transition requiring preparation\, continuity\, rapid follow-up and shared responsibility. \nThe symposium is for clinicians\, researchers\, educators\, students\, hospital representatives\, public-health professionals\, people working in crisis intervention and community services\, decision-makers\, industry representatives and people with lived experience. \nThrough an international workshop\, expert lectures and a multidisciplinary forum\, participants will explore practical approaches to strengthen safety planning skills in an innovative way using serious game concept\, a part of European Union co-funded grant (ELLIPSE Resilience Enhancement) (ID 2025-1-SE01-KA220-HED-000364668). Ensure timely and coordinated follow-up after discharge\, involve patients and supportive family members in safer transitions and translate evidence and international experience into real-world action. \nA distinctive component of the event will be its interactive e-poster programme. Accepted e-posters will remain available electronically and will be brought together in an e-book\, extending the visibility of projects and findings beyond the symposium itself. Where authors provide consent\, participants will also be able to contact them directly to ask questions\, exchange experience and develop new clinical\, educational or research collaborations. Do not let hospital discharge become a gap in which a vulnerable person is left alone. Join the conversation\, share your experience and help us build safer transitions across Europe. \nRegister now and be part of the inaugural ESPPA Symposium! \nSubmit your abstract and e-poster by 31 August 2026.

SUMMARY:Sept 10th Webinar: School-based suicide risk assessment as a process: Understanding drivers to suicide in adolescents
DESCRIPTION:This session will focus on suicide assessment as a process shared by school mental health professionals within multidisciplinary teams. Evidence-based tools will be presented to complement clinical interviewing\, as structured assessments improve identification of suicide risk beyond interviews alone (Posner\, 2011). These tools will be integrated within a broader contextual framework to support identification of drivers of suicidal behavior and inform effective prevention efforts across levels of risk. \nSpeakers: \nDr. Marina Niznik\, a licensed psychologist in California\, is the President of Inlight Psychological Services PC\, the private practice she founded specializing with adolescents. She earned her doctoral degree in School Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. Upon completing her APA-accredited internship in a large school district (Houston)\, she remained there as a school psychologist for over 15 years. \n  \n  \nTo verify the time zone for our webinar on September 10th (2:00-3:00PM UTC)\, click here.
