Description
In 2017, there were more than 47,000 deaths as a result of suicide in the United States (NIMH, 2018). Additionally, there were over 67,000 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2018 (NIDA, 2019). Individuals with a substance use disorder are particularly at risk for suicide and suicide attempts. This presentation will explore the link between substance use and suicide. The importance of increasing a client's protective factors while decreasing risk factors will be highlighted. Tips for effectively addressing a client’s co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders will be reviewed throughout the training along with an emphasis on crisis safety planning for at risk clients.
