President's Message
Serving A Need

Roswell Rotary was awarded a competitive district grant to provide an evidence based Zero Suicide Training Initiative to licensed professional counselors, psychologists, social workers and therapists. Working with WellStar’s Behavioral Health Services, registration for the October 16th virtual webinar went live last Friday. Seating is limited to one hundred  providers. Eighty registrations were received in twenty minutes.  Within hours registration was closed, as every seat was filled.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death both in Georgia and the United States. Those at risk are showing up for care at different access points in our community and yet very few providers are trained to identify, assess, and treat these patients with evidence-based care.

Thank you Wellstar for partnering with us to train those who ensure patient safety and who care for and treat suicidal patients. Together, we are making a difference.
