Title: Examining the Ethics of Suicide Prevention for Military Veterans 
*Meets Ethics and Suicide Requirements (1.5 CEH each)

Learning Objectives:
  • Compare and contrast foundational characteristics of the medical model and the moral model for suicide prevention.
  • Recognize the underlying ethical assumptions of the medical model for suicide prevention.
  • Describe ways to improve current suicide prevention efforts for military veterans.

Course Description: This CE course will examine the ethics of suicide prevention from two perspectives: the medical model and the moral model. While the medical model is by far the most prominent, some opportunities to help suicidal individuals are missed when professionals view patients through a strictly medical lens. We will use these two models to examine current suicide prevention programs for military veterans and identify potential ways to improve these programs.
