MRI working with numerous sponsors in Bend
Oregon produced a program presented at The Tower Theater. The event

to present media and talk about resilience, depression, and suicide
prevention. Dr. Michael Conner presented on applications of positive
psychology that build resilience, social buoyancy and greater
happiness. The program was recorded and will be replayed on local
radio over the holiday season and then edited for replay on MRI web
sites.
