Suicide Risk Assessment Webinars

Suicide Risk Assessment: Perspectives and Challenges

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide was responsible for 46,000 deaths in 2020, and suicide rates were 30% higher in 2020 than they were 20 years ago. Additionally, in 2020, 12.2 million individuals thought about suicide, 3.2 million individuals made a suicide plan, and 1.2 million individuals attempted suicide. Assessment of suicide risk is high stakes, and the effectiveness of intervention strategies can be difficult to establish.

To address these issues, this series will provide insights from scholar-practitioners as an initial step to inform and improve the clinical practice of suicide risk assessment and intervention. Continuing education/continuing professional development (CE/CPD) credits available. See CE Sponsor approvals.
