Suicide prevention program at Zadoc library

BUCKFIELD — Zadoc Long Free Library will host two free workshops for adults on “Suicide Prevention-What We Need To Know” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 18, and again at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 21.

The library is at 5 Turner St. It is the red building next door to Tilton’s Market on Route 117.

These one-hour-long sessions will be presented by Cheryl Morin from the JD Foundation in Abbott. Cheryl and her husband, Vic, tragically lost their son, JD, to suicide in 2012 and they and others created the nonprofit JD Foundation in their son’s memory and to help others learn about suicide prevention. Cheryl and Vic have conducted numerous training sessions around the state.

To attend either workshop, call Bonnie Santos, library director, at 336-2171 by March 11 to reserve a seat. Space is limited so it will be “first to call, first to have a reserved seat.”
