Location: Online via Zoom
Date: Tuesday, April 1, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (MT)

Overview

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in Utah, ranked 9th in the nation for rates of death by suicide (CDC, 2022). This sobering reality highlights the need for community-led and evidence-based intervention for people experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In this presentation, Josh Kivlovitz will draw from his practice experience and the research on people with suicidal experiences and suicide intervention to understand the gaps between what care people with suicidal thoughts deserve, and how our systems respond to suicidal risk.
