The Reality of Suicide - Webinar
Presented by:
Tarra Grammenos, M.S., SC:L, NIC Adv.
ASL - English Interpreter
Sibling Suicide Survivor
Thursday September 23rd
6 - 8pm (ET)
Online - Zoom
It is a topic that we aren't comfortable talking about until we have to. Suicide is a reality that does not discriminate. It doesn't care who you are, what you do, or where you're from; it can affect anyone. Presented by a sibling suicide survivor, this webinar will be an open and honest conversation about suicide; the facts, statistics, terminology, myths, and prevention. Let's talk.
Tarra holds a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice, Graduate Certificate in Legal Interpreting, Bachelor's Degree in Psychology of Deviance, and Associates Degree in ASL/English Interpreting. She is also in her fourth year as the President of Minnesota RID. Since the death of her younger brother to suicide, she has spent the last three years taking and presenting workshops on the topic of suicide. She also attends suicide specific support groups, survivor days, and often interprets workshops and webinars on the topic as well.
