Suicide prevention requires more than observation alone. This session examines evidence-based approaches to suicide prevention and self-injury management in correctional settings, including screening, risk formulation, and collaborative safety planning. Learn trauma-informed, person-centered strategies that strengthen multidisciplinary response, improve post-incident analysis, and support safer, more therapeutic interventions.
