MIDAP Course “Suicide Risk: Assessment and Management” – May 2025
OVERVIEW Suicide in Chile in 2019 had a rate of 10.03 per 100,000 inhabitants. This means that approximately 1,902 people died from this cause that year. Added to this figure are suicide attempts, which can be up to 20 times higher than completed suicides and impact those around those who suffer from this problem. Thus, it is recognized as a serious public health problem that has not been significantly reduced. In this national scenario, training professionals in the detection, evaluation, and management of cases at risk of suicide has become urgent. In line with this need, the Millennium Institute for Research on Depression and Personality (MIDAP) offers this training activity, with the purpose of providing effective tools to health professionals and other disciplines who work with young people and adults who may be at risk. At the end of the day, participants will have updated their training in the detection, evaluation, and management of suicide risk. TARGETED AT: Interested professionals who work with young people and adults potentially at risk of suicide. MODALITY: Remote, with a total of 18 hours divided into 12 lecture hours and 6 hours of reading and individual work. Cameras must be on throughout the class. METHODOLOGY:
