SUMMARY:Using Location Analysis to Inform Community Suicide Prevention Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the locations where suicide deaths and attempts occur is an important component of a comprehensive suicide prevention approach. In this webinar\, Dr. Kimberly Repp\, Chief Epidemiologist for Washington County\, Oregon\, will review innovative data-driven prevention efforts that were implemented in her county using a novel suicide surveillance system and suicide fatality review process. Dr. Repp will describe how this novel analysis led to different mitigation and prevention strategies\, including outreach and training for hotel staff where suicides had occurred. The Department of Health will also provide a brief overview of location-specific data analysis and trends in Vermont. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions for discussion. \nABOUT THE PRESENTER: \nDr. Kimberly Repp is the Chief Epidemiologist for Washington County\, Oregon\, where she leads the county’s epidemiologic response and oversees the Medical Examiner’s office. With a PhD in Microbiology and an MPH in Epidemiology and Biostatistics\, her work includes an innovative suicide surveillance system that has been nationally recognized. Dr. Repp continues to advance public health practice through evidence-based interventions grounded in field investigation. \nThis webinar is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Vermont Department of Health. \n

SUMMARY:Crisis Support for Autistic People (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Suicide is a leading cause of premature death for autistic people. Yet\, many professionals lack autism-specific knowledge and experience\, potentially leading to miscommunications and misunderstandings with autistic individuals. Additionally\, the suicide prevention resources and supports designed for the general public can unintentionally harm autistic people because autistic people think\, communicate\, and experience the world differently than non-autistic people. \n\n\n\nPresenters: Rae Hartman Haight\, Autism Studies Researcher; Brenna Maddox\, PhD / Psychologist; Lisa Morgan\, LSCW-cc / M.Ed. / Consultant \nThis strengths-based training aims to close that gap and improve crisis supports for autistic people. Training attendees will learn how to effectively communicate with and support an autistic person in crisis. The training will highlight recent research findings\, powerful stories of lived experience\, case scenarios\, and autism-specific resources developed in collaboration with autistic adults. \nHosted by CHL\nFunder Info: This training is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Vermont Department of Health.

SUMMARY:Umatter® Suicide Prevention Awareness and Skills Training - Gun Shop Staff
DESCRIPTION:Umatter® Suicide Prevention Awareness and Skills Training – Gun Shop Owners and Range Operators and Staff \n  \nAbout this Training:\nDuring a Umatter® Suicide Prevention Awareness and Skills Training participants learn basic knowledge and skills of suicide prevention including societal myths and attitudes\, use of sensitive language\, risk factors and warning signs\, protective factors\, considerations for populations at risk\, examples of what to say and do\, and local and national resources for help. Participants learn a three-step process for talking with someone who presents with risk for suicide. \nThis will be a 2-hour\, in-Person\, Umatter® Suicide Prevention Awareness and Skills Training presented by the Center for Health and Learning (CHL).
