Postvention Collective

Springfield, Missouri August 12 & 13, 2026

Our 2026 conference, "Connecting a Stronger Chain," brings together professionals, survivors, and community leaders to get aligned on what actually helps after a su***de death because we want support that is skilled, steady, and sustainable.

This is the only nationwide conference specific to postvention (su***de bereavement) for 2026.

· 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

September is Su***de Prevention Month, but here's what most people miss:

The BEST su***de prevention often comes from those who've already experienced su***de loss.

We call this 'postvention as prevention' and it is revolutionary.

Su***de loss survivors bring:

🎯 Authentic understanding of warning signs
🎯 Real-world knowledge of what helps (and what doesn't)
🎯 Credibility that saves lives
🎯 Passion that can't be taught

This September, let's shift the conversation.

Prevention isn't just about stopping su***de - it's about learning from those who have lived through loss.

Ready to turn your pain into prevention? Let's talk.
