Navigating Suicide in the Disability Community
Key insights on risk factors, protective factors, and accessible prevention approaches for disabled individuals and their caregivers.
Course Overview
Disabled individuals can face elevated risk for suicidal ideation and attempts, yet most prevention frameworks weren't built with them in mind. This training bridges that gap, covering the statistics, risk factors, and protective factors specific to the disability community, with practical approaches for counselors, caregivers, and advocates.
Course Description:
Disabled individuals can be at increased risk for suicide, including thoughts of suicide, suicide plans, and suicide attempts. While many suicide prevention and intervention approaches have been created, there is a need for them to be adjusted to meet the unique needs of disabled individuals. The more accessible approaches are for disabled individuals, the more accessible they will be for everyone. This training will discuss statistics, risk factors, and most importantly protective factors for the disabled community. Additionally, concerns specific to caregivers will be addressed as they are a key protective factor.
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize statistics, risk factors, and protective factors regarding suicide for the disabled community.
- Implement approaches to suicide prevention and intervention specifically for the disabled community.
- Explain how caregivers are a key protective factor for disabled individuals and ways to support caregivers.
