DBT for Justice-Involved Veterans
October 9 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Veterans experiencing criminal-legal difficulties are at significantly elevated risk for suicide (~150 per 100,000) compared to their non-legally involved peers (~40 per 100,000). Addressing criminal-legal involvement is therefore key to effective Veteran suicide prevention. Through this live virtual, knowledge-based webinar, attendees will learn about a recently developed psychotherapy program specifically designed to decrease risk of future criminal-legal involvement and suicide risk.
Following this live lecture, participants will be able to:
- Discuss suicide risk in Veterans experiencing criminal-legal involvement compared to Veterans not experiencing such involvement.
- Describe assessment strategies to identify Veterans experiencing criminal-legal involvement.
- Employ effective intervention strategies to mitigate the risk of criminal-legal involvement and suicide.
