Reaching for Hope

Missouri State University invites you to attend the 17th annual Public Affairs Conference as a live virtual event Sept. 29-Oct. 1, 2020! This year's public affairs theme is The Power of Voice. 

Links to all live webinar events will be listed on the Public Affairs Conference schedule website.

Following the Columbine High School tragedy of 1999, Sue Klebold worked to understand how her son could have become a perpetrator in a mass shooting. Guided by her own grief and trauma following the incident, her search for answers led her to understand the importance of early intervention and effective treatment for those who struggle with thoughts of suicide. With the goal of saving lives, Klebold works to help listeners recognize when someone is in crisis and feel empowered to help.

As a passionate advocate for mental wellness, she shares a story of hope and determination to find solutions that prevent lethal thoughts from becoming lethal actions.
