This novel and groundbreaking talk offers a new and important perspective of suicide and how we treat those who are suicidal.
Join us as we travel back in time and explore the historical layers contributing to the modern view of suicide and those who are suicidal. Together we will consider how historical perspectives have shaped contemporary attitudes, language, and policies surrounding suicide.
By examining past and present strategies, we will assess the positive outcomes of current interventions, as well as any unintended outcomes. During this talk we will explore the role of antidepressants in keeping people safe from suicide and how a Prescription Safe Plan can support that ambition.
