Presented by Jonathan B. Singer, PhD, LCSW. This event is virtual and free to clinicians or professionals for (2) Continuing Education credits.

The story of youth suicide always starts with this sentence: Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth. Unfortunately, that's often the end of the story. This simple version of a complex issue ignores disparities in suicide risk, perpetuates a one-size-fits-all approach to assessment and postvention, and disrupts individual lives instead of disrupting structural forces that say that some lives are worth more than others. In this webinar, Dr. Singer will connect the dots between the individual and structural, and discuss how to think about culturally relevant suicide prevention, assessment, and postvention.

Following this presentation participants will be able to:

• Identify temporal trends in suicide risk amongst youth

• Distinguish between screening, assessment, and monitoring

• Contrast traditional approaches to suicide risk assessment with culturally adapted approaches

• List culturally relevant questions for assessing family context and LGBTQ+ rejection behaviors

• Describe three factors associated with culturally relevant postvention
