    Description

    The B/VI suicide rate is virtually unknown as data is extremely rare. This study found stressors to which the B/VI have a heightened susceptibility as well as protective factors that are generated to compensate for the increased risk.

    Participants will:

    1. Identify at least four of the seven stressors to which the B/VI have a heightened susceptibility.
    2. Identify at least three of the five stressors that affect the B/VI in a manner unique to them.
    3. Identify ten of twenty-nine supports that protect against suicide.
    This session is presented by Henry Tyszka, Ph.D.
