Feedback from Fall 2024

“This was the best suicide training I’ve done and Dr Sung did a great job recognizing and incorporating the complexities at play.”

“This was a really excellent and valuable training – information was dense but it was so important and time was used very efficiently. I appreciate that breakout rooms/activities were well-structured and concrete, and that the group as a whole could discuss afterwards. All of the presenters are exceptionally knowledgeable and evidence-based, but also humble and open to experiences of others in the room. Thank you for offering this training!”

“As a provider who has treated populations with high risk for safety concerns and CAMS, this presentation felt like it provided *new* and tangibly applicable information that is hard to find at times in more general trainings.”

“Information was excellent and provided in an appropriate level of detail, with opportunities to ask questions, have discussions, and view example videos. I appreciate Dr. Sung’s style in discussing suicidality with openness to everyone’s experiences and perspectives.”
