LECTURE TOPIC
Biopsychosocial Conceptualizations of Suicide Risk for Midlife Women Veterans
Join the Suicide Risk Management Consultation Program (SRM) for our monthly lecture: Biopsychosocial Conceptualizations of Suicide Risk for Midlife Women Veterans.
Effectively assessing and addressing suicide risk requires a nuanced and whole-person approach, particularly for women Veterans during midlife who may be navigating traumatic stress, menopausal changes, and psychosocial stressors. For women Veterans, these transitional challenges can interact in complex ways that should be considered when assessing and managing suicide risk.
This month’s lecture will examine these unique considerations, outlining a research agenda designed to inform more targeted clinical approaches for women Veterans in this age cohort. Attendees will take part in a discussion that reviews current data and emerging research.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about how these symptoms and stressors specific to this Veteran population can manifest in the context of traumatic stress.
Following this live lecture, participants will be able to:
- Describe current data on suicide risk for women Veterans during midlife
- Summarize existing literature on suicide risk for women across the menopause transition
- Name at least one biological, psychological, and social element that may be relevant for understanding suicide risk for women Veterans during midlife
SRM offers free consultation, support, and resources – including our lecture series – to help providers implement best practices when working with Veterans at risk for suicide. Plus, participants in the SRM lecture series can earn free continuing education units (CEUs).
A follow-up email with registration links will be sent once available. In the meantime, please save the date!
