On May 22nd, the City, in partnership with Clackamas County, will be hosting a Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Forum. Occurring from 5:30 to 7:30pm, the event is free.
At this forum, presenters Clackamas County Health Officer Sarah Present, and Suicide Prevention Coordinator Galli Murray, will discuss the importance of mental health awareness, who is at risk for suicide, trends we are seeing nationally and regionally, and how we can support someone who is struggling.

Three other events will be happening:
Hands-on Narcan training. Learn how to recognize the signs of an overdose and how to safely administer Narcan.
Holding an drug take-back event to allow people to safely dispose of unwanted and expired prescriptions. They are taking back veterinary and over-the-counter medications as well.
Safe disposal of syringes and EpiPens.
Giving away handgun lockboxes and medication lockboxes with cable locks, while supplies last.
Informational booths will be on hand from 14 different mental health related services including the Clackamas County Crisis and Support Line and the Lake Oswego School District.
Mental health affects all of us. This will be 2 hours well spent. The location of the event is Lake Oswego City Hall, 380 A Avenue.
