And How Are the Children? Suicidality in Adolescents and Young Adults
Overview
In the United States, suicidality is rising in all ethnic categories (CDC, 2023), but in African American communities it is rising more rapidly and reaching more alarming heights. In this Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR) Seminar, Dr. Roland will discuss youth suicide highlighting traditional risk and protective factors, and youth populations at greater risk. She will review the Social-Ecological Model of Racism and the impact of health care disparities on suicide prevention and treatment, while guiding learners in the development of a suicide safety plan.
