Presented by: Brandon Johnson, M.H.S
Abstract: Suicide is a public health issue that has increased in overall rate for the last 17 years while other public health issues have decreased. Suicide remains the 10th leading cause of death and was one of two top-10 categories that didn't decrease in the last year. Over 48,000 individuals die by suicide each year. Despite these challenges, there have been advances in suicide prevention research, strategy, evidence-based practices and efforts. Increasing skills to identify and to assist a person struggling with suicidal ideation may save a life and help prevent a traumatic event for a family and community.
