Overdose and Suicide: Identifying Risks & Opportunities for Intervention

DESCRIPTION

This webinar will provide an in-depth examination of the intersection between overdose and suicide risk, emphasizing both the shared and distinct factors that affect individuals. It will identify the communities and populations facing the largest risks and emphasize the urgency of acting before these risks grow even more.

This session is tailored for health professionals seeking to expand their understanding of these critical issues and strengthen their approaches to supporting those at risk.
