Offers a Free Webinar with CE Credit:
Strategies to Help Community Providers Prevent Suicide in Veterans
on Wednesday, October 15 @ 2 pm EDT
Suicide and factors that contribute to suicide, such as depression, PTSD and
increased drug and alcohol use, are steadily on the rise among veterans
returning home from war. With limited access to veteran’s healthcare services in
rural areas and the stigma that is associated with veterans seeking help for
mental health needs, this has made it increasingly challenging for community
providers to serve this population.
Strategies to Help Community Providers Prevent
Suicide in Veterans presented by Paul Quinnett, PhD and President and CEO of The
QPR Institute offers what you can do to prevent suicide among the veterans and
military personnel you serve.
