Topic: Building a Culture of Equity in Suicide Prevention
Equity has become a major topic of discussion of late, but without intentionality, equity can become nothing more than a trendy topic. There are unique challenges faced by historically marginalized communities as it pertains to suicide prevention. Discuss the importance of embedding equity into the work of suicide prevention, including defining the objective, identifying the essential elements, and exploring the challenges and pitfalls in applying the “lens of equity” both within an organization and within a system.
