Offered in collaboration with the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP), the certificate focuses on clinical, organizational, workplace, public health, and policy approaches to suicide prevention. This unique approach to suicide prevention education will ensure that learners acquire knowledge of the economic, political, commercial, and social determinants of suicide. The certificate will prepare learners to implement, evaluate, and critique suicide prevention strategies at a time when the U.S. is experiencing rising suicide rates. This program is the first and only online certificate offered by a U.S. university that focuses exclusively on suicide prevention.
