Over the past decades, evidence of trauma as a root cause underlying a number of social issues continues to build. This Webinar will examine how traumas ranging from adverse childhood experiences to systemic oppression to financial insecurity are implicated in rising suicide rates across the United States. Participants will explore concrete ways to trauma-inform their approach towards suicide both in one-on-one dialogue and on a systems-level. This training will be facilitated by individuals with their own personal history navigating experiences of trauma and suicide attempts and who have worked extensively supporting others using the internationally-recognized “Alternatives to Suicide” approach.
