This program was presented by Andrew Peckham, PhD. It provided an introduction to the Department of Veterans Affairs referral process for military and veterans who may be at risk of suicide. The discussion addressed the fear and concern providers have about approaching suicidal thoughts and behaviors among high-risk patient population. Guests from the Bedford VA Suicide Prevention Services also discussed the state of suicide as well as referral services and programs in place for our military and veteran populations. This program covered a difficult topic of significance since 4 times more veterans have died by suicide since September 11 than in combat.
This event is part of William James College's Department of Military and Veterans Psychology virtual discussion series on a variety of important topics in military and veteran psychology. These monthly discussions are free and provide 1 CE credit to attendees.
