Webinar: Preventing Suicide in Clinicians and Staff
Webinar: Preventing Suicide in Clinicians and Staff
September 11 | 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Hosted by the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved with our primary care association partners, this webinar will explore how healthcare professionals are significantly more likely to end their lives by suicide than the general population. The COVID-19 pandemic and other events only exacerbated the stress, moral injury, and fatigue already felt by many healthcare professionals balancing caring for patients with concerns for their own wellbeing. And when healers end their lives by suicide, these tragic incidences can also have a “ripple effect,” increasing the vulnerability of other professionals, patients, and family members.
Join this webinar to understand the dynamics of the crisis and learn concrete strategies to help support primary care providers and teams, address suicide risk and prevent deaths by suicide in staff, and implement effective postvention strategies through ACU’s Suicide Safer Care curriculum.
