Suicide Awareness & Prevention: PsychU Resource Review & Discussion
The PsychU community is cordially invited to join Drs. Amica Simmons-Yon and Rachel Self as they discuss the critically important topic of suicide awareness and prevention.

Appropriate language, ongoing initiatives, screening tools, and navigation through materials on PsychU will also be highlighted.
