Description
Culturally Adaptive Suicide Prevention: Exploring Person-centered and Systemic Interventions
This course will provide attendees with information to increase their knowledge of culturally adapted suicidal ideation. Participants will learn how to recognize factors that may influence suicidal ideation among culturally diverse groups and how existing prevention/interventions have been utilized in universal settings. Finally, participants will use a socio-cultural framework to consider new ways to apply existing suicide prevention/interventions for diverse groups, with special attention to social factors.
