Suicide is a leading cause of premature death in the autism community. There are unique risk factors and warning signs of suicide, yet the resources, assessments, and support for the general population do not align with the needs of autistic people. PDA individuals require an added layer of understanding and support. This webinar will discuss how to support PDA individuals in crisis and suicide prevention.
Join us on July 17th, at 7:00pm (CST) for a webinar on Crisis Support and Suicide Prevention for PDA Individuals with Lisa Morgan LCSW-CC, M.Ed.
This will be recorded and sent to you within 1 week after after the event.
