Alcohol Use, Depression, and Young People: Implications for Addressing Suicide Risk

This event is an overview of what we know and don’t know about the impact of alcohol use on mental health and suicide and the implications for suicide prevention planning. This webinar is suitable for a wide range of alcohol and suicide prevention practitioners at the state and community level, tribes, and colleges and universities.

Participants will be able to:

1. Describe key findings from recent research on the link between alcohol and depression as risk factors for suicide and between alcohol and suicide directly. 
2. Summarize key components of a comprehensive effort to reduce alcohol consumption and adverse consequences, including mental health problems and suicide.
