David Shaffer, MD, a world-renowned child psychiatrist and expert on adolescent suicide, will present a comprehensive overview of what we know about the underlying causes of youth suicide and the early identification on an evidence-based mental health and suicide risk screening program, developed as a direct outgrowth of his research on adolescent suicide.

Speaker:
Janis Whitlock, PhD, MPH; Director, Cornell Research Program on Self-Injurious Behavior

It is widely believed that the number of youth who intentionally injure their bodies by cutting, burning, or engaging in other forms of mutilation has increased in recent years. Join Dr. Janis Whitlock as she summarizes what we know and don't know about self-injury. In addition to sharing what is known about the prevalence, nature, and contagiosity of self-injurious behavior in the general youth population, she will share results from a New York State study of self-injury in schools. The talk will end with recommendations for detection, intervention, and prevention of self-injury in adolescents and young adults.
