Overview
“Suicide is a leading cause of death for Americans – and it’s a tragedy for families and communities across the country,” said CDC Principal Deputy Director Anne Schuchat, MD. “From individuals and communities to employers and healthcare professionals, everyone can play a role in efforts to help save lives and reverse this troubling rise in suicide.” Psychiatrists and other medical and mental health providers are being call upon to address the rising suicide rates both in practice and as experts within the larger community. This program is designed to offer participants information about risk, prevention and assessment of suicide to improve awareness, contribute clinical and communications tools and enlarge the pool of partners to address the growing numbers of completed suicides. Presenters will review new research and offers supports for patient populations to help providers address specific needs with evolving models that include as many supports as possible. By coordinating messaging with emerging tools and developing standardized approaches, this conference aims to empower participants to actively work together to reduce suicide in Minnesota.
