About the Event

Older adults are at greater risk of social isolation, bereavement, and chronic health conditions, which may contribute to suicide. This course explores suicide prevention strategies to support older adults, their caregivers, and professionals who support them. Learn about unique challenges and risk factors older adults face and explore the public health issue of suicide and why people may consider dying by suicide.

In this course, you’ll deepen your understanding of how conversations about wellness and suicidality can help reduce stigma and build connection. You’ll also learn to identify and recommend appropriate resources for a variety of scenarios.
