Lunch & Learn: Adolescent & Teen Suicide | Healthy New Albany
On January 13th 2021, Healthy New Albany brought together leading experts from Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the Ohio Chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics for a panel discussion called, Adolescent/Teen Suicide: Removing Stigma and Barriers for Treatment and Prevention.
Tragically, suicide is the second leading cause of death for children ages 10-19 years old in the United States. Nearly one in six teens has seriously thought about suicide.
Guest Panel Included:
- Michael (Mike) Gittelman, MD, Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physician and Co-Director, of the Comprehensive Children’s Injury Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital
- Melissa Wervey Arnold, CEO of the Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics
- John Ackerman, PhD, Child Clinical Psychologist and the Suicide Prevention Coordinator for the Center for Suicide Prevention and Research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital
