Suicide Prevention in the BIPOC Community
March 13, 2024 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
There is no cost to attend this training.
About this training:
This training is designed to provide learners with basic information about the relationship between racial identity and suicide. More specifically, the goal is to provide learners with insight into how race and racism impact mental health on structural, institutional, communal, and individual levels for people who are racially subjugated (i.e. Black, Indigenous and People of Color, or BIPOC). We will discuss barriers to recognition and treatment as well as remedies and actions that practitioners and mental health advocates can take to reduce disparities in BIPOC populations, including a local lens on prevalence, barriers, and resources.
Objectives:
- Articulate the prevalence and presentation of suicidal ideation and suicide in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities
- Describe structural, systemic, communal, and individual factors that impact suicidal ideation and suicide for BIPOC
- Offer 5 actions practitioners and advocates can take to improve outcomes for BIPOC experiencing suicidal ideation or attempt
