Loss of life by suicide has been growing for the past 20 years in the United States. All of us have been impacted, yet innovation around addressing deaths of despair has been rare. What insights can be gleaned from the peer support and harm reduction communities about new ways forward?

We explored concrete ways to shift the conversation around suicide by rooting dialogue in vulnerability, curiosity, meaning and collective healing.
