NPA 2025 Spring Conference:
"Suicide Risk Assessment"
May 9, 2025 9:00 – 4:30 CDT
Live via Zoom
Keynote Speaker: Craig Bryan, PhD, ABPP
Research in clinical suicidology continues to rapidly expand, much of it with implications for day-to-day clinical practice. Clinicians routinely wrestle with how best to integrate recent advances into practice and how to do so in efficient and effective fashion. This presentation identifies five critical domains of recent research findings and offers examples of simple strategies that can easily be integrated into a clinician’s existing suicide risk assessment practices to inform the risk formulation process.
Afternoon “Nebraska Suicide Prevention Resources Panel” includes representatives from the Nebraska Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the Nebraska Youth Suicide Prevention, The Kim Foundation the NE State Suicide Prevention Resource Center, and the NE State Suicide Prevention Coalition.
