July Lunch & Learn Announced: Suicide Assessment and Safety Planning

Health care professionals are invited to Hospice of the Red River Valley’s upcoming Lunch and Learn as we continue to explore topics related to end-of-life care. Lunch and Learns are held every other month on the second Tuesday of the month from noon to 1 p.m.

The next session will be held Tuesday, July 10 from noon-1 p.m. Stephanie Pritchard, bereavement specialist with Hospice of the Red River Valley, will present, “Suicide Assessment and Safety Planning.” Attendees will learn how to create a safety plan; identify definitions of suicidal ideation, intent, plans and means; and increase awareness of the importance of suicidal assessments.

This Lunch and Learn will be held at five Hospice of the Red River Valley locations:

  • Fargo – 1701 38th St. SW
  • Detroit Lakes – 1111 Highway 10
  • Grand Forks – 2860 10th Ave. N., Suite 400
  • Lisbon – 415 Main St.
  • Valley City – 1240 W. Main St.

The Detroit Lakes, Grand Forks, Lisbon and Valley City offices will connect via videoconference to the Fargo office, where the live presentation will take place.

This event is free and open to all health care professionals. Pre-registration is required because space is limited. RSVP online at bit.ly/hrrvlunchlearn by July 1. Participants may bring their own lunches; coffee and water will be provided. If you have questions, please send an email to lunchlearn@hrrv.org.
