Organizers urge parents, educators, high school and college students, military, senior citizens, clergy, neighbors, coaches – everyone – to attend.

The presentation will include speakers who have lost loved ones by suicide, a PowerPoint presentation, question and answer session, and availability of discussion

Brookfield ACTS aims "to raise awareness that depression
and suicide are public health issues for individuals across the lifespan; to try to reduce the incidence of these problems through advocacy and education."
