Watch a webinar from the Violence Prevention Initiative (VPI), now Center for Violence Prevention, at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) on the role of healthcare providers in youth suicide prevention. Suicide is among the five leading causes of death in children, adolescents, young adults, and adults ages 10 to 54 years, and universal screening for depression and suicidality in both primary care and emergency medicine settings is essential.

This session aims to provide relevant facts and statistics about suicide in children and adolescents, how to screen children and teens in the emergency department (ED) and primary care, and how primary care physicians can follow up with their patients to ensure they receive the appropriate mental health interventions.

The webinar is presented by Jeremy Esposito, MD, MSEd, attending physician in the ED at CHOP, and Anik Jhonsa, MD, attending psychiatrist and medical director of Emergency Psychiatric Services at CHOP. The moderator is Flaura Winston, MD, PhD, an attending physician at CHOP, senior advisor to VPI, and founder and scientific director of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at CHOP.
