Our featured guest is Dr. Frank R. Campbell, an Army veteran, suicide loss survivor, and founder of the LOSS Team model—a peer-based response approach now used across the U.S. and internationally to support survivors of suicide loss in real time. He’ll be joined by Dr. Jay Breneman, Stoneleigh Fellow and Director of Firearm Suicide Prevention at CeaseFirePA Education Fund.
We’ll explore: - Why the warning signs we expect often aren’t visible, or seen in time
- What keeps survivors from speaking up, seeking help, or being heard
-
How grief, stigma, silence, and firearm culture intersect in Pennsylvania communities
- Why postvention is prevention, and how breaking that silence can save lives
This conversation is grounded in both lived experience and systemic challenges. It builds on The Missing Conversation, CeaseFirePA Education Fund’s groundbreaking report on rural perceptions of firearm suicide in Pennsylvania.
Whether you’re a survivor, professional, advocate, or just someone who wants to learn more about firearm suicide—the leading cause of violent death in Pennsylvania—this conversation is for you. |
Sincerely, Adam Garber
CeaseFirePA Executive Director |
