Summary: This webinar will present research findings in the areas of suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention in religious communities. Both robust research findings and preliminary findings will be presented. For example, religious service attendance is associated with lower suicide risk but social support in religious communities accounts for only about a quarter of the association between religious service attendance and health. Additional risks and protections in religious communities will be presented.
Intended Audience: Attendees should have an interest in the unique role of religious communities in suicide prevention.
Outcomes: At the end of this webinar participants will…
List differences between suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
List three unique protective roles religious communities play in suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
List three risks for suicide that may be found in religious communities and ways to decrease these risks.
