The California Department of Public Health, Injury and Violence Prevention Branch (CDPH/IVPB),  Suicide Prevention Program,  Essentials for Childhood (EfC) Initiative, and CORE State Injury Prevention Program invite your participation in the “Preventing Trauma and Suicide during Catastrophic Events and Beyond: Strategies for Preventing Suicide in California” webinar on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (PST).

In this webinar, presenters from the Prevention Institute and the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) will introduce their new toolkit on preventing trauma and suicide during catastrophic events and beyond.  This toolkit offers a foundation for prevention activities to implement during periods of infrastructure disruption due to catastrophic events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Presenters will provide an overview of the suicide prevention modules, which provide guidance and tools to help assess local contexts, populations most impacted by suicide, and promising suicide prevention strategies. Additionally, a presenter from CDPH will demonstrate how to use available data to guide prevention efforts in California. A new resource will be highlighted that illustrates how to access state and county-level suicide data using the Injury and Violence Prevention Branch’s EpiCenter website.
