🗓️ Mark Your Calendars: September 11 at noon ET! 🗓️ In honor of #SuicidePreventionMonth, join NIMH and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for a livestream event on suicide prevention in health care settings. 🚨 Why It Matters: Suicide is a major cause of death in the U.S., and many people at risk of suicide don’t get the mental health care they need. In many cases, people see a health care provider in the weeks or months before a suicide attempt, making medical settings like emergency rooms and doctor’s offices key points for prevention and intervention. 🔍 Featured Experts: • Stephen O’Connor, Ph.D. - Chief, Suicide Prevention Research Program, NIMH • Richard McKeon, Ph.D., M.P.H. - Senior Advisor for 988 and Behavioral Health Crisis Office, SAMHSA • Brian K. Ahmedani, Ph.D. - Director, Center for Health Policy & Health Services Research, Henry Ford Health System 📺 Tune In: Watch the live event on NIMH’s Facebook page or YouTube channel. Don't miss this opportunity to learn and engage with leading experts. 💬 Have questions? Ask the experts during the livestream in the comments section!
