Suicide: From Research to Practice
The rate of suicide in the U.S. increased 33% from 1999 to 2017, with rates increasing more sharply after 2006. In 2017 the rate of suicide was 14 suicides per 100,000 people. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in individuals from 10 to 34 years of age. While we won’t know the impact of the pandemic and current racial unrest on suicide for some time, the current stress in our society will likely drive suicide rates up. Psychologists are vigilant in assessing suicide risk in their patients. This presentation will address current research in the field of suicidality and bridge that knowledge to clinical practice. There will be a focus on the increased risk of suicide in marginalized populations and trends in suicide in minority groups.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. describe the current rates and trends in suicide in the U.S.
2. identify the two necessary components of suicide in the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide and how they present in clinical practice
3. recognize the increased risk of suicide in marginalized populations
4. summarize the need for early diagnosis and intervention for mental illness and how this might decrease the rate of suicide in the U.S.
5. describe the Suicide Prevention Program at the Veteran’s Administration and consider benefits of its application as a model for suicide prevention in the community
Presenter: Gili Goldfrad, Psy.D., HSPP
Dr. Goldfrad is a clinical psychologist practicing at the Indianapolis VA Medical Center. She specializes in neuropsychological assessment of adults and older adults, who present with cognitive, emotional, and behavioral concerns. Reasons for consultation vary, but often include clarification of cognitive decline in the context of neurological conditions, chronic pain, or substance abuse. Dr. Goldfrad self-identifies as a feminist and anti-racist. In her professional life, she has facilitated unlearning racism workshops through the Association of Women in Psychology (6 events, 2014 to date) and the VAMC (10 events, 2020). Since starting at the VAMC in 2018, she has been supervising pre-doctoral practicum and internship level trainees and has been dedicated to fostering their multicultural competence. In supervision, Dr. Goldfrad sets the expectation that self-reflection is necessary, and that conscious attention will be made to how diversity factors impact both supervision and client based interpersonal dynamics. Their conceptualization of veterans and understanding of themselves as developing practitioners is done through a culturally mindful and sensitive framework. Topics often addressed in supervision include the research of normative samples, subconscious and conscious biases and their manifestations, and the impact of language (in reports and conversationally).
