SUMMARY:Free webinar - Engaging and Supporting Families in Supporting Suici
 de Prevention
DESCRIPTION:There are many ways family members and loved ones help individu
 als struggling with suicidal behavior. This webinar will focus on how orga
 nizations who are implementing suicide prevention programs can meaningfull
 y engage and include families whose loved ones are in suicidal crisis or h
 ave attempted suicide in their work\, and their crucial role in suicide pr
 evention. This will be part of SAMHSA’s larger effort focusing on engagi
 ng and supporting families with suicidal loved ones.\n\nWhile family membe
 rs should not be expected to assume the role of 24-hour monitors for their
  loved ones (except in rare circumstances)\, they often are in the role of
  first responders and safety nets as designated by plans post hospital dis
 charge. However\, they are often not prepared by their providers on how be
 st to respond their loved nor on how to effectively manage their own distr
 ess in times of such high emotionality. Mental health professionals who wo
 rk and treat suicidal patients are taught skills and strategies to be more
  effective in suicide prevention. Similarly\, family members also need ski
 lls and strategies both for post attempt communication and also as a tool 
 for prevention and early intervention.\n\nThis webinar will focus on the i
 mportance of engaging families and loved ones in different phases of suici
 de prevention\, highlighting current research in family engagement and fin
 ally sharing one example of family programming geared toward parents of su
 icidal teens and young adults. Participants will gain insight and awarenes
 s into challenges\, opportunities and outcomes around family engagement wi
 th suicidal individuals.\n\nPresenters:\n\nRichard McKeon PhD\, MPH - Chie
