Suicide Prevention Requires More Than Crisis Intervention

Every day, clinicians face one of the greatest responsibilities in healthcare: recognizing and preventing suicide before it happens. Yet despite increased awareness, suicide rates and suicide attempts continue to rise. Too often, we are left reacting to a crisis instead of identifying and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to suicide rise.

What if we could do more?

Emerging research continues to demonstrate that nutritional deficiencies, biochemical imbalances, genetics, inflammation, and environmental factors can all influence suicidal thinking and behavior. These are measurable, treatable contributors that deserve a place in every clinician’s assessment and treatment plan.

Join Dr. Greenblatt as he explores the biochemical, nutritional, genetic, and environmental factors associated with suicidality while providing a personalized, functional psychiatry framework that complements conventional care. This newly updated course reflects the latest evidence, including expanded research on the role of micronutrient deficiencies in suicide risk and practical, evidence-based interventions clinicians can begin using immediately.

We believe this education should be available to every clinician. The knowledge you gain may change the way you assess patients, strengthen the care you provide, and, ultimately, help save lives.

If there is evidence that can help prevent suicide, why wouldn’t every clinician want to learn it?

Learning Objectives

  1. Identify key nutritional, metabolic, and environmental factors associated with increased suicide risk, and how these factors represent therapeutic targets for effective interventions.
  2. Elucidate the essentiality of the mineral lithium, which offers neuroprotection and stabilization, and its role in mental health and suicide prevention.
  3. Describe how social and environmental factors interact with biological factors for suicide risk in susceptible individuals.
  4. Understand how essential fats, cholesterol and omega-3s play a role in suicide prevention.
  5. Understand how many paths to inflammation, including sleep deprivation and trauma, contribute to suicide risk.
