Target Audience

Practitioners, Older Adults

I am fortunate enough to present information on suicide prevention to audiences of varying backgrounds including practitioners and older adults. I've conducted presentations both in person and virtually for the community and organizations including CDC, Google, Clorox, and more. This presentation would be appropriate for students who work or are planning to work with older adults.
