Insights on Suicide Awareness from Recent Research (K. Ecklund, C. Lehmann, S. Mansour, C. Leung)

Suicide has increasingly become a major health issue. Suicidal ideas and attempts, and successful suicides, touch the lives of many youth and young adults, either through their own experiences or those of friends and family.

The session includes time for participant questions.
