Testimonials 

“The broad overview of suicide resources [during this online course] was helpful. Understanding how I can recognize some of the risk factors, initiate a conversation about suicide, and refer someone for further help was a benefit to learn.”

“I really enjoyed the ability to take this course on my own time. I have taken numerous suicide courses through the years, but this one is my favorite. I thought that the progression was perfect, as it moved from basic concepts to more expanded ones (but built on each basic concept in each module).”

This online course is delivered during a two (2) week time frame and is a self paced, interactive course which contains discussions and assignments on the content.  To learn more & register for this upcoming online course, visit https://icisf.org/event/sa2021_2/.
