I just finished a nice session on the strengths-based approach to suicide with the NDCA. They asked for a little extra info/emphasis on working with men, because men are particularly vulnerable to suicide, and so I wove in some of the content from my ACA presentation with Matt Englar-Carlson and Dan Salois (thanks Matt and Dan!).

The ppt below is a big one because it includes an embedded video featuring a young man who articulates a number of potential suicide related drivers, including trauma (be forewarned: the content is intense and potentially triggering).

A big thanks to the NDCA organizers and to the attendees who were very impressive.

Have a great evening!
