Could you provide a source for that research? I swear I'm not being combative, just genuinely interested.
Not OP but here you go. I work with young people and have had suicide prevention training multiple times, this is a recurring mantra that not asking about it is much worse than asking.
Thanks a lot for posting the study.
Thanks. I wonder if this is limited to a therapeutic context and if the same is true for third party mentions of suicide. But I'll look around for that by myself.
Not the original commenter, but I know it's included in the yearly training for Army civilians and soldiers. We have to take suicide prevention training every year. I don't think the training itself sources the info though. Also I don't know if you can access the training without a CAC. In any case, they say that it is just a myth. You don't have to tiptoe around the idea of suicide. It's better to ask someone if they're thinking about it if you're truly worried that they are.
Thank you!
Archive.org has a collection of titled "The Military Industrial PowerPoint Complex" that contains exactly what you'd think, a crapton of US Military PowerPoint files. I'm sure if you dig enough that specific training is out there, although in sure theres better places to find such infotmation too
