SUMMARY:1st Annual Veterans Chow Hall in Erie\, PA
DESCRIPTION:1st Annual Veterans Chow Hall \nAn event presented by Bodhi Garden Initiative and the Robert Irvine Foundation \nVeterans Chow Hall at Voodoo Brewery\n716 State St\nErie PA 16501 \nSaturday\, March 9\, 2024\n11 AM – 2:00 PM EDT \nRegister online to attend! \nRegister today to attend the “1st Annual Veteran Chow Hall” at Voodoo Brewery located in the historic Boston Store in downtown Erie\, PA. The event aims to raise awareness for Veteran suicide prevention and will feature a menu designed by celebrity chef Robert Irvine and prepared by U.S. Marine Veteran and chef Shane Cash. \nSuicide is a public health concern and a leading cause of death in the United States. More investment in suicide prevention\, education\, and research will prevent the untimely deaths of thousands of Americans each year. In Pennsylvania\, suicide ranks among the top 10 causes of death for ages 64 and younger. Veterans may be more susceptible to suicide due to the physical and mental stresses that are common among former and active military. \nThroughout the 15-county region of Northwest Pennsylvania\, Pitt’s Veteran Suicide Prevention Program collaborates with healthcare partners\, community organizations\, Veterans\, and their families to eliminate suicide deaths. By focusing on resiliency and protective factors\, the program aims to improve access to treatment and support services\, increase awareness of suicide risk\, and provide targeted suicide prevention activities and training opportunities. The program’s public-facing materials\, resources\, and events can be found at TheResilientVeteran.org \nVeterans and their families are invited to attend the luncheon. You can also email Michael Shannon at Bodhi@Bodhigardeninitiative.com to register or receive additional information.

SUMMARY:Preventing Suicide among Veterans Experiencing Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:This live\, knowledge-based virtual presentation for interprofessional healthcare teams will review that suicide among Veterans experiencing or at risk for homelessness is substantially greater than rates among Veterans with no history of housing instability. To further understand the complex and unique needs of these Veterans\, we will review research examining drivers of risk and protective factors. We will further offer methods of conceptualizing social determinants of health\, such as housing instability\, and mental health in the context of empirically-supported\, holistic frameworks. We will then review clinical considerations to enhancing practice and tailoring suicide prevention care. \nThis program will help bridge the gap for providers working with Veterans experiencing homelessness by discussing important and novel approaches for understanding the needs of homeless Veterans as well as resources and tools that providers can access to enhance their discharge and treatment planning. \nMar 13\, 2024 2:00 PM EDT  –  3:00 PM EDT\nRegister online.
