Nationwide, we continue to see an increase in both overdose and suicide deaths. Each of these traumatic losses impact individual's families and their communities, but also practitioners who provide care. This training will provide practitioners with statistics and risk identification related to both suicide and overdose. We will discuss risk management and how to begin to address traumatic grief and loss related to suicide and overdose in the behavioral health workspaces.
