Event Date
Men in America commit more than 75% of all suicide deaths each year and evidence has been collected worldwide that suggests men are far less likely to seek help for mental health challenges, irrespective of age, nationality, or ethnic or racial background. Mental health issues in men often remain hidden, overlooked, or undertreated. This highly interactive session will address suicidality as a behavioral condition, suicide care management in practice, and evidence-based treatment for suicide.
Registration is closed for this event. The slides and recording will be posted to the Technical Assistance Resources page at a later date.
