TRAINING HISTORY In 2014 and 2015, the Illinois Department of Public Health (Department) with support from the Illinois Public Health Association and the Illinois Suicide Prevention Alliance (ISPA) hosted an annual conference. The conferences were a strategy under the Illinois Youth Suicide Prevention Project through funds from the Garrett Lee Smith grant awarded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration. The Department identified the conference as a strategy to sustain after the grant ended. A planning committee was formed to organize an event in 2016. The training format and content is based partly on feedback from participant evaluations from the 2014 and 2015 conferences, in addition to several surveys to stakeholders.

TRAINING PURPOSE The purpose of the training is multi-fold. One goal of the training is to increase provider knowledge regarding suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention/aftercare. Specifically, the training will increase knowledge of warning signs of suicide.

The training will provide specific tools and resources for attendees to take to the workplace, etc. for their own suicide prevention efforts. The training will offer hands-on resources as well as programmatic information. In particular, specific programs recognized as best practices will be presented at the training.

The 2014 and 2015 conferences increased the momentum of suicide prevention efforts in Illinois and generated more energy and interest from stakeholders. The 2016 training is aimed at continuing the momentum and moving participants to action. Participants will identify their role in continued implementation of the National and Illinois Strategy Plans on Suicide Prevention.

Additionally, the planning committee would like to ensure the voices of persons with lived experience and survivors are represented in the development of the conference.

TRAINING GOALS

Participants will:

Gain knowledge, skills and competencies regarding suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention/aftercare. Participants will increase their knowledge of the public health approach to suicide prevention and leave the event with specific tools and resources to take to the workplace, etc. for their own suicide prevention efforts.

Become aware of warning signs of suicide. Understand the importance of early detection of emotional and mental disorders; however, also understand that it is never too early to implement strategies that prevent troubling behaviors before they begin.

Understand the importance of integrating best practices into suicide prevention planning.

Increase their ability to identify resources locally and nationally, with a focus on avenues of support. Identify the fact that suicide does not see geographic and cultural barriers, and everyone can play a part in prevention in various ways.

Adolescent Suicide Prevention

Mark A. Reinecke, Ph.D., ABPP, ACT, Professor & Chief Psychologist, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Northwestern University

Child and adolescent suicide are important clinical and public health concerns. A significant percentage of adolescents experience suicidal ideations or make suicidal gestures or attempts. Rates of completed suicide increase over the course of adolescence. In this presentation we will Training Rom review research on predictors of suicide among youth and discuss how they may inform prevention efforts and treatment strategies. A range of primary and secondary prevention programs have been developed. Individually, each has been found to have a limited effect on rates of completed suicide. With this in mind, an integrative “Prevention Template” is proposed which facilitates the development of broadband, evidence-based prevention programs that are tailored to meet the needs and resources of individual communities. This program was introduced in Lake Forest, Illinois as a means of addressing a teen suicide cluster.
