———————————————————————————————————————————-
Established in 2005, the TSPN Call to Action has provided members of TSPN and the general public with monthly updates on TSPN projects as well as the suicide prevention movement in Tennessee and beyond.
Issues of the newsletter typically feature reports on regional events and conferences, developments on the national scene relevant to suicide prevention and mental health, introductions to newly available suicide prevention resources, and the latest research on suicide and mental illness.
The TSPN Call to Action is posted on the TSPN website on or around the first day of each month. New editions are announced each month via Constant Contact to our members across the state.
We are currently in the process of archiving our older newsletters on the website. Newsletters from 2009 and 2010 are available on separate pages. For editions prior to 2009, please contact the TSPN central office at tspn@tspn.org.
