REGISTRATION- MHPN Rural and Remote Suicidality Online network

This network, in partnership with Annie Fardell Hartley, is dedicated to building connection and capacity for those in rural and remote areas who are working to reduce the rates of death and injury by suicide across the prevention, intervention and postvention fields.
