Pediatric Education and Advocacy Kit (PEAK): Suicide

From PEAK Suicide, this course aims to improve the pediatric emergency readiness of health care systems by helping learners develop their skills in managing pediatric suicide in prehospital, emergency department, and post-emergency situations.

In this webinar, experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will present the Blueprint for Youth Suicide Prevention and outline key strategies to prevent suicide in clinics and communities. Presented by Lisa Horowitz Ph.D., Christine Moutier M.D., and Tamar Haro.
