Suicidality in the LGBTQ Community
with Raji Edayathumangalam, MSc, PhD, LCSW

Saturday, March 11th, 2023; 10:00am – 3:00pm* EST on Zoom.

This workshop will offer 4 NYS Continuing Ed credits. 

*This workshop will include a 1-hour lunch break from 12:00-1:00pm EST.

About the Workshop:

Often, people who experience suicidal thoughts feel terribly alone, distraught, and disconnected from themselves and others. Often, friends, family, and professionals miss the warning signs that may only take someone’s asking to be revealed, or may be very hard to detect when a person strongly safeguards their need for privacy with their suicidal thoughts and intent.

This interactive workshop will allow early clinicians and experienced clinicians alike to learn and share critical insights, skills, resources, and supports. The workshop will discuss the risk factors specific to the LGBTQ community as well as the overlapping risks with other groups of people. The workshop will actively engage participants through case examples, role-play, and other activities, including a clinical case discussion by Deborah Sherman, BC-DMT, LMHC.

Consequently, the next time a patient walks in the door, the workshop participants will feel even more equipped to work effectively and comprehensively with the patient for ongoing suicide-risk assessment, documentation of risk formulation, and treatment.
