Join Deer Oaks EAP & Human Resources for the Talking About the "S" Word Webinar.
Thursday, September 14th, 2023, 12pm - 1:00pm
National Suicide Prevention Week begins with World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10 and lasts through Saturday September 16th 2023.
One in five adults say that they have had suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives. Yet, it remains a topic that many struggle to talk about openly, and stigma is commonly thought as the reason help is not accessed when emotional support is needed. In addition, many people feel uncomfortable when having difficult or raw conversations in the fear that they may say or do the wrong thing.
Join this session to:
- Develop a better understanding of suicide and self-harm behaviors and associated risk factors
- Demystify those challenging topics, and explore ways to tackle taboos
- Learn to promote preventing strategies and access crisis management tools
