BRWN-0078 - Promoting Culture, Belonging, and Life: Suicide Risk Factors and Prevention With American Indian Alaska Native Youth
Preferred registration deadline: June 21st
This workshop will be conducted in a virtual Zoom meeting format.
3 CEUs
Suicide is a leading cause of death in the U.S. and disproportionally impacts American Indian/Alaska Native people and their communities. The most recent CDC data show suicide rates were highest among non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native people, and this group also experienced the highest relative percentage change during the 2018–2021 period, which reinforces the need for culturally responsive suicide prevention.
This workshop will review the prevalence and impact of youth suicides in American Indian and Alaska Native communities within a lens that processes the impacts of historical and intergenerational trauma within Indigenous communities. Participants will learn about promising prevention, intervention, and post-vention approaches grounded in culture and community strengths, and how non-native organizations and providers can partner with tribal communities to better coordinate and integrate services and strengthen the system of care available for American Indian Alaska Native youth and families.
This class meets the requirement for at least 2 CEUs in suicide continuing education each licensure period.
General Admission: $60**
Class size is limited to 30.
