25th Annual Dental Day (Virtual)

Session Overviews:

TREATING THE PAIN BEHIND THE SMILES: SUICIDE PREVENTION FOR DENTAL PROFESSIONALS Healthcare professionals are at greater risk for suicide according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Occupational Suicide List. This has led state departments of health to recommend or require these professionals to receive suicide prevention training. Frank King, The Mental Health Comedian and Dental Suicide Prevention Speaker, works with dental teams to develop effective suicide prevention strategies within their practices. Participants learn how to recognize warning signs associated with suicide, understand how to start a conversation, and offer support through referrals. By participant in this course, you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of both co-workers and parents.
