In this course, you will learn about specific evidence-based and research-informed interventions that directly target suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Through case examples, you will gain a better understanding of ways to implement these strategies.
The goal of this course is to provide addictions, behavioral health counseling, marriage and family therapy, nursing, psychology, and social work professionals with knowledge about evidence-based, suicide-specific interventions.
Describe three evidence-based interventions for treating individuals at risk for suicide or who have made a recent attempt.
Summarize the process for completing a safety plan and for reducing access to lethal means.
Recall the factors you should consider when determining what interventions may be needed for suicidal individuals.
Preventing Suicide Among Veteran Populations
Veterans are 1.5 times more likely to die by suicide than non-veterans (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs [VA], 2022).
