Suicide Prevention: At-Risk Populations Assessment, Treatment, and Risk Management

Course overview

In 2018 alone, over 48,000 people died by suicide in the U.S., and there were another 1.4 million suicide attempts (Xu et al., 2020). Gaps in training programs have resulted in clinicians lacking exposure to effective methods to identify and treat suicidal individuals (Brodsky et al., 2018). The goal of this course is to provide healthcare professionals with information on suicide-specific risk identification, screening, prevention, and interventions.
