Symposium

Symposium

Each year, the Crisis Center hosts a free Symposium to address mental wellness and health needs. The symposium is held in September to honor suicide prevention month. In the past, the Symposium was held in-person in Alachua County. However, with the COVID pandemic, the symposium switched to a virtual platform in 2020 and reached more than 350 participants from across the United States and internationally. The symposium is intended to bring accurate and insightful mental health information to everyone who is interested in learning. Oftentimes, it can be difficult to know what information to trust. The presenters of the symposium are trained mental health professionals including Alachua County Crisis Center staff, invited mental health professionals, and faculty from Counselor Education Prog​rams.
