The Seneca Nation has been chosen as the host site for the 2024 World Indigenous Suicide Prevention Conference to be held July 23-25, 2024, at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. This is the fourth gathering and the first time in the United States; and first in-person WISPC event since Australia, 2018.
The conference theme is “Reclaiming Indigenous Resiliency and Hope.” Our theme revolves around the ongoing challenges our communities around the globe encounter. Every day we face issues of assimilation, cultural genocide, and other forms of socio-cultural-political pressures.
