AFSP/SPAN USA's
2010 Public Policy Legislative Institute
March 8-9
Embassy Suites Alexandria, VA

The public's involvement in educating members of the U.S. House and Senate on key issues is critical to the success of AFSP/SPAN USA's efforts to strengthen advocacy and to promote policies and legislation that impact suicide and prevention.

This valuable training institute will inform participants so that they can better articulate AFSP/SPAN USA's public policy agenda as they share their own personal and professional experiences in suicide prevention with their members of Congress.
