Suicidality in Men – A Practical Approach to Understanding and Management

Trending3.5(New)

Suicidality in men is a major public health concern with complex psychological, sociocultural, and biological dimensions. Men consistently show higher rates of suicide completion compared to women, influenced by factors such as help‑seeking behaviours, societal norms, emotional expression patterns, and access to lethal means. This course equips healthcare professionals, counsellors, and allied care providers with evidence‑based knowledge to understand, assess, and manage suicidality in men across clinical and community settings. Participants will explore the unique risk factors that impact male suicide, including gender roles, masculinity norms, mental health stigma, and substance misuse. The course blends theory with practical strategies to identify early warning signs, implement effective risk assessments, engage men in compassionate dialogues, and coordinate safety plans.
