Program Summary

Situations as:

• Suicidal Ideation

can and do have a profound impact on the health and functioning of youth, their families and communities.

The COVID pandemic raised issues that influence how a youth perceives their day-to-day life. Social media portrays suicide as an option for dealing with difficult issues. As resource parents, the first step in preventing suicide is identifying the warning signs for a youth living in 2021. Join us to take steps in assisting youth in your care. At the conclusion of this webinar, the participants will be in a position to:

• Identify the most common adolescent suicide behavioral and situational warning signs.
• Link the current atmosphere of the COVID pandemic to the increase in a youth's risk of suicide.
• Respond to a youth displaying suicidal warning signs.

Services providers and their staff, managers, supervisors, program managers and professionals who coordinate services and resources for helping clients and their families succeed.
