Suicide Risk in Children and Adolescents: What Every Clinician Needs to Know

Youth suicide continues to be a growing public health crisis, with healthcare professionals uniquely positioned to identify at-risk children and adolescents before a suicide attempt occurs. This enduring educational activity equips clinicians with practical, evidence-based strategies for recognizing suicide risk, implementing validated screening tools, conducting appropriate risk assessments, and engaging patients and families using trauma-informed communication. Participants will review current epidemiologic trends, developmental considerations, risk and protective factors, and evidence-based approaches to intervention, safety planning, and referral. Emphasis is placed on the critical role of healthcare providers across all clinical settings in improving early identification and preventing youth suicide.
