Guidance for the Systematic Infusion of Culture and Diversity into Suicide Prevention Efforts

Action Learning Workshop

Wednesday, September 14 • 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PT

Register Now

Overview:

Though studies have long shown that suicide develops differently in communities of color and LGBTQ+ populations, gaps in existing approaches to suicide prevention have highlighted the need for guidance on how to systematically infuse culture and diversity into programmatic efforts. This webinar will address these gaps by providing a foundational understanding of how suicide differs across cultural groups. It will also cover advances in culturally responsive approaches to suicide prevention and management. Attendees will learn state-of-science theoretical and applied research (including key principles of the Cultural Theory and Model of Suicide) as well as practical approaches to assist counties, programs, leaders, clinicians, and community stakeholders in accounting for culture and diversity in suicide prevention across a range of diverse populations. Attendees will encounter applied examples, helping them understand how to transform their own programs, practices, and prevention efforts.
