Full Course Description

Goals & Objectives:

Course Goals:

According to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC; 2021a), suicide and suicide attempts take a tremendous emotional and economic toll on the families and loved ones of those who engage in suicidal behaviors. Not only does the suicidal behavior of a loved cause an emotional toll on family members and place others within the family unit at risk of dying by suicide, but it also results in increased medical costs for individuals and families, lost income for families, and lost productivity for employers and the community as a whole (SPRC, 2021a). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC; 2021d) has identified suicide as one of the top 10 leading causes of death in the 10–65 age group. This topic must be addressed throughout the healthcare community to prevent unnecessary further loss of life.
