International Men’s Day Panel Discussion, Nov. 16

Every year on November 19, International Men’s Day is celebrated worldwide to raise awareness about various issues that men face, such as parental alienation, abuse, homelessness, suicide, and violence. It is also an occasion to celebrate men’s lives, achievements, and contributions to their nation, union, society, community, family, marriage, and childcare. This year’s theme is “Zero Male Suicide.”
To support this cause, the BEDI BOOKS + MORE CLUB and the College of Psychology are organizing a special panel discussion on November 16, 2023, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom. The discussion will focus on how everyone can contribute to supporting fathers, brothers, sons, grandfathers, uncles, and neighbors to prevent male suicide. According to the CDC, suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States.
We are honored to have a lineup of distinguished NSU experts who will share their insights during the deep-dive shark chat.

• Scott Poland, Ed.D., director of the Suicide and Violence Prevention Office;
• Juliette Hubbard, Psy.D., assistant director of the Suicide and Violence Prevention Office;
• Gregory Gayle, senior director, Recruitment and Admissions, NSU College of Psychology

This event is open to the NSU community. Please register here by Tuesday, November 14, 2023, to participate.
