Course Description

The focus of this workshop is to highlight the vulnerability with the intellectual and
developmentally disabled community. Unfortunately, this segment of our population is often overlooked and as such, they often suffer in silence. The workshops will look at signs, symptoms, and how to intervene and manage risk for someone with I/DD who is exhibiting suicidal ideation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about changes with this diagnosis and basic characteristics.
  • Become aware of the role of suicide thoughts and behaviors with this population.
  • Increase familiarity with suicide risk factors, assessments and treatment options for people with IDD.
