What researchers are doing of interest to Clergy members

Introduction

Having knowledge of the latest research is important for clergy members in order to effectively practice within the community as well as to give appropriate and timely suicide prevention information and resources to members of your spiritual organization, fellow clergy members, and members of the community.

 

While research may not be the first area targeted by clergy members, it can be an invaluable tool providing current information and the ability to advocate for or explore new and innovative research in the areas of suicide and suicide prevention.  

New research is published every year, month, and nearly every day.   Consequently, what we know about suicide and suicide prevention constantly evolves and changes.   In order to best understand suicide and suicide prevention, it is essential to update your knowledge base with current research information.
