Choosing the right speaker is essential to ensure your event's success. Consider these factors:

• Expertise: The speaker should have a strong background in mental health, suicide prevention, or a related field. Look for certifications, licenses, or relevant experience.
• Experience: How long has the speaker been presenting on this topic? Do they have experience with the specific audience you are trying to reach (e.g. corporate, college students, healthcare professionals)?
• Engaging Delivery: The speaker should be able to connect with the audience and deliver information in an engaging and memorable way. This could include storytelling, humor, or interactive activities.
• Evidence-Based Content: The speaker's content should be based on current research and best practices in suicide prevention.
• Sensitivity and Respect: The speaker should approach the topic of suicide with sensitivity, respect, and cultural awareness.
• Actionable Strategies: The speaker should not only raise awareness but also equip audience members with actionable tools and strategies that they can use in real-life situations.
