Significant research exists on the treatment of acute suicidality, yet individuals at chronic risk for death by suicide present unique challenges to clinicians in correctional settings. This presentation will discuss chronic risk factors unique to correctional populations and the intersectionality of those risk factors with trauma experienced both before and during incarceration. The speakers will also discuss treatment interventions and best practices to mitigate risk factors.
