The NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) will host a seminar about the scope of the suicide crisis in our nation and around the world. Discussion will include suicide in the biomedical research community and how the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to increase suicide risk.
In the small groups, the OITE will have the opportunity to develop and practice skills to assist participants in communicating with someone who may be experiencing suicidal ideation; how to make connections and get help for the individual. The webinar and small group discussions are open to students, fellows, staff and faculty at NIH, universities and research institutions.
