Suicide and self-harm risk impacts more children and youth in the foster care system than average. Colorado has a rate of death by suicide that is nearly twice the national average. Suicide is becoming an increasingly visible issue, and we can't afford to hope that someone else will step in when help is needed. We will discuss the basics of suicide including risk factors, warning signs, how to talk about suicide, how you can support someone endorsing suicide (regardless of your role), risk assessment basics, and referral options within the community.
