Many intersecting factors contribute to suicide risk among people with substance use concerns, including mental health, trauma, social isolation, and environmental and systemic factors such as stigma that can be barriers to accessing services and supports. This interactive session will feature stories of individuals with lived experience with substance use and recovery to help identify possible strategies, alternatives to mainstream behavioral healthcare, and action steps practitioners and our communities can take to improve supports and help create recovery friendly environments to promote health & wellness.
