This presentation will provide an overview of suicide prevention. Our presenters will discuss the nature of suicide, suicide related statistics, risk factors, and warning signs. They will discuss how to assess for lethality, how to support a person who is suicidal, and how to link the person to appropriate resources.

Our interactive presentations utilize Video and PowerPoint.

Begun in 1958, the Suicide Prevention Center was the first in the country with a 24-hour suicide prevention crisis line using community volunteers. The primary crisis line of the SPC provides telephone counseling to individuals contemplating, threatening or attempting suicide, and is part of a national crisis intervention network.
