Course Description
The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of information related to suicide, as well as empirical evidence related to causal theories, risk factors, prevention, and treatment considerations. Most importantly, the course will link the existing literature to case vignettes and practical applications for occupational therapy practitioners. This intermediate-level course will provide occupational therapy practitioners with the information necessary to identify those at risk and those demonstrating symptoms associated with suicidal precursors and will help to describe the role of occupational therapy practitioners working across practice settings including approaches to assessment, intervention, and referral.
