Suicide is the leading cause of death in jails and a major concern in prisons. Overreliance on extreme preventive measures can cause harm and discourage individuals from reporting suicidal thoughts. This seminar will explore clinical, legal, and environmental factors contributing to suicide in correctional settings and review evidence-based interventions like cognitive-behavioral therapy. Learn about more humane, effective methods to promote safety and treatment engagement and discuss case studies and the components of a comprehensive suicide prevention program. 3.5 CE credits
