April 4, 2023 - Talking About Suicide: How to Give & Get Help

Despite how many law students and lawyers are suffering, most of us are still not comfortable discussing suicide risk or speaking up when we are concerned. Suicide is a danger we cannot ignore -- as a profession, or as colleagues, friends, and family members. We welcome all members of the legal profession to break the silence, encourage discussion, answer questions, and share resources in a safe space. Learn how YOU can play a role in suicide awareness and prevention. Attend in-person at The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law or virtually through Zoom at 12:30PM.
