Sept 10th Webinar: School-based suicide risk assessment as a process: Understanding drivers to suicide in adolescents

This session will focus on suicide assessment as a process shared by school mental health professionals within multidisciplinary teams. Evidence-based tools will be presented to complement clinical interviewing, as structured assessments improve identification of suicide risk beyond interviews alone (Posner, 2011). These tools will be integrated within a broader contextual framework to support identification of drivers of suicidal behavior and inform effective prevention efforts across levels of risk.

Speakers:

Dr. Marina Niznik, a licensed psychologist in California, is the President of Inlight Psychological Services PC, the private practice she founded specializing with adolescents. She earned her doctoral degree in School Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. Upon completing her APA-accredited internship in a large school district (Houston), she remained there as a school psychologist for over 15 years.
