Suicide is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States and worldwide. Nearly 50% of individuals who end life by suicide see a primary care provider within a month of death, yet suicide risk assessment and treatment is consistently difficult in practice. It is imperative that risk assessment and safety planning knowledge and skills are in place for our work with clients with the ultimate goal being to prevent premature suicidal death.
This webinar will discuss and present on suicide as public health issue in the US, risk and protective factors, warning signs, barriers to help-seeking, risk assessment process and risk formulation, safety planning, and cultural humility in risk assessment with use of a clinical case. This workshop is also focused on the adult population.
“Intended Audience: This session is open to all SPH Students and will be particularly useful for SPH community members who are looking to increase their knowledge of foundational concepts related to structural racism and anti-racism within historical context.

Often lacking from these conversations is the throughline that runs from this country’s foundation to differences across health and life trajectory still at work today. This session will help participants:
