GPS author to highlight importance of conversations about self-harm
The GPS Parent Series will host licensed clinical social worker and author Jonathan Singer in a presentation titled Suicide Signs and Symptoms: Let’s Talk About It. This event will be presented in a Zoom webinar at noon and a hybrid in-person event at the Carol Stream Public Library at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 1. Go to the GPS Parent Series website for information and the links to these webinars.
Suicide is a public health crisis that is the second leading cause of death for young people age 15-24, according to the CDC. Despite a common belief that only teens and adults are affected, younger children can also be at risk. Though it can be a difficult topic, it’s important to have conversations with young people about self-harm.
Singer will give participants an understanding of suicide and discuss the warning signs, myths and facts. He will offer suggestions for parents, students, schools, and communities.
Continuing professional development units are available for this program.
Singer is an associate professor of social work at Loyola University Chicago and author of “Suicide in Schools: A Practitioner’s Guide to Multi-level Prevention, Assessment, Intervention, and Postvention.” His research, publications and media appearances focus on interventions for suicidal and cyberbullied youth. Singer is also the creator and host of The Social Work Podcast.
Please share information about this event with friends and relatives.
