Community Education and Training Programs
Agora has certified trainers on staff who can help train your organization in suicide awareness and intervention as well as other topics such as supportive listening or self-care. These are customizable workshops which can be tailored to the needs of your group, and be conducted in-person or on Zoom.
Our speakers are also available to tell your organization about Agora's services and how you might best use us for support. We can tell you about Agora in as brief a time as 15-minutes (or longer)!
Workshops up to 90 minutes in length, located within the greater ABQ area can be scheduled free of charge. We are able to provide this service due to the generosity of our donors, and we happily accept a donation when possible for a group to offer.
Workshops 2 hours or longer may involve fees-

Suicide Awareness and Intervention Workshops
Year after year, suicide is one of the top leading causes of death in our country. In 2018, New Mexico had the very highest suicide rate of any state in the nation. Suicide is a public health issue that affects us all, and it is one that anyone can learn how to help with.
Agora offers a variety of suicide awareness trainings which can be customized to suit the needs of your group.
All of our workshops discussions will cover the following, but in more depth depending on the length of the session:
If you would like a brief one to two-hour presentation, there is no charge, although we gratefully accept donations to keep these workshops free!
Communication Skills and Supportive Listening
Agora can teach your organization how to be a compassionate, supportive listener and how that is different than the way we communicate every day with family and friends. Workshops can be as brief as one hour, and as long as a weekend retreat - whatever will be most helpful for your group! For more information, contact us at agora@unm.edu.
Self-Care and Team building
Our staff can help put together a workshop to increase self-awareness, relaxation and group dynamics. Like our other workshops, we can customize the length and topics to best suit your needs. For more information, contact us at agora@unm.edu.
