| We are delighted that Dr. Carolyn Ortega will be joining us again in May and discuss a very important, yet often ill- prepared topic when working with people with brain injury—suicide. Dr. Ortega is a bilingual licensed psychologist and has been working closely with people who suffered TBI. Studies have published that people with TBI are three times likely to commit suicide. While we may be aware this information, we often lack the tools to know how to assess or what to do when a suicide attempt occurs during the person’s rehabilitation phase. Please join us on May 24th when Dr. Ortega will educate us on how to identify risk factors of suicidal potential and ideation with this population. She will explain how to utilize research-based assessment tools and treatment of patients with suicidal behaviors. More importantly, by sharing real case incidents, she will outline our responsibilities and actions necessary from a mental health and rehabilitation perspective and how to build a team approach to promoting patient safety. |
