About the Course:

The webinar “Responding to Suicide Survivors” hosts a discussion of what suicide is, who suicide survivors are, and what it may mean in a cultural context. You will learn pertinent statistics of suicide, risk factors of suicide, and who may be at risk of suicide. You will also learn about some protective factors that can be used to lower the risk of suicide. You will learn about the common reactions a suicide survivor may have, how to respond to their reactions, and viable options to help the survivors of suicide cope more purposefully. This training will also cover topics that can hinder the healing process for the survivor, and give examples of what not to say or do.
