The signs of a suicidal person may be subtle and understanding that silence is not strength can be your critical moment to help someone in need. The percentage of young adults seriously considering suicide increased from 10.7% to 25.5% since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Effective strategies for suicide prevention must address the strengths, circumstances, and challenges of the different phases of life.
Everyday, our counselors and social workers walk with those in need to provide access to effective behavioral health care. Offering effective behavioral health care reduces the risk and severity of illness, supports recovery, and will help strengthen strategies for coping with stress that a suicidal person could be battling.
Aldea is offering a free training facilitated by Rachel Michaelson, LCSW. You will learn strategies for identifying the signs of suicide risk, how to ask the right questions without fear and finding help for those in need. This is open to all community members.
