Elderly Asian Women Suicide Prevention Workshop
The workshop is part of the New York State Elderly Suicide Women Prevention Awareness Campaign to raise community awareness about suicide risk for Asian elderly women who have the higher suicide rate among all female groups over age 75 in the U.S. In this workshop, presenters from Asian communities will address culturally relevant issues pertaining to suicide risk factors and behaviors, and culturally sensitive approaches to reach out to Asian elderly women who may be in distress. Social service providers, caregivers and college students serving the Asian community are encouraged to attend.
