Youth Suicide Prevention: Highlighting a Group Program for Youth that Teaches New Skills to Use When Faced with Suicide Ideation

This presentation will talk about the Skills for Safer Living group that was recently piloted for youth ages 13-16 which included an accompanying parent group.

The goals of the group include:

• Regenerate a sense of hope for living
• Educate & provide emotional support
• Decrease duration, intensity & frequency of suicide ideation

Hear from two of the facilitators, Angela Weber-Thompson who co-facilitated the group for youth and Sheila Perkin who co-facilitated the group for the parents. What were the skills taught? What were the learnings? Would you teach the group again?

This webinar is hosted by Umind.
