Second WindFund, a fund of The Jefferson Foundation, and Abiding Hope Lutheran Church will present a panel discussion on "Suicide and Diverse Faith Perspectives" March 18 from 4:30 to 6:30 at 6337 S. Robb Way in Littleton.

The Second Wind Fund is now in its 6 th year of providing counseling for students who are deemed at risk for suicide and who are uninsured and underinsured.

Guest panelists will represent various faith traditions and backgrounds including: mainline and Evangelical Protestant, Catholic, Buddhist, Muslim, Unitarian and Judaic. In addition to a philosophical discussion regarding how different faith traditions approach suicide, the discussion will include information about suicide risk factors, suicide prevention, and talk about the community's efforts at teen suicide prevention through the Second Wind Fund.

Light refreshments will be served and a nursery for children under 3 years will be provided.. The public is welcome to attend and participate in the discussions.
