There are 80 percent more suicides than homicides in our country. The 32,000 self-inflicted deaths leave many survivors; those closest to the person who died by suicide are vulnerable to substance abuse and self-injury (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2009). Suicide is a major public health concern, like heart disease and cancer.
This session will focus on the definition of Suicide, Statistics, Reasons People Die from Suicide, and How to support suicide survivors.
The presenter s Dr. Marc Markell.
