Topic: Suicide Prevention among Aging Adults
April 20, 2023 | 12:30 - 1:30 PM
I am a clinical psychologist and mental health services researcher with a longstanding interest in older adults and suicide prevention. My current research seeks to improve the quality of care for persons with serious mental illness and the aging population with a focus on suicide prevention. I am conducting a NIMH-funded study using Medicare data to examine the service use patterns, predictors, and outcomes of older adults treated for acute suicide risk in hospitals. I am also co-leading a NIA-funded analysis of Medicare claims to conduct the first US cohort study on the risk and protective factors for all-cause mortality, suicide, and self-harm during the early course of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. I am also a Co-Investigator on a project that is developing and pilot testing a peer-based intervention for Veterans with high suicide risk.

ARMS/Brown Webinar Series 2023
The University of Connecticut’s Center for Advancing Research, Methods, and Scholarship (ARMS) in Gun Injury Prevention and Brown University’s Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy have jointly collaborated to host a four-part webinar series entitled Bearing the Burden. The series focuses on gun violence in America, its
intersection with domestic violence, and its disproportionate impact on women, especially women of color. This series will bring together those focusing on these crucial issues across multiple domains and academic disciplines.
Part 3 - Women of Color, Guns, and the Legal System
Date: Wednesday April 26, 2023 | 12PM-1:30PM (Eastern Time)
Format: Via Zoom
Description: Women of color are more likely to be victims of domestic violence in the United States. This panel discusses this phenomenon as well as the unequal treatment women of color receive from the justice system from the higher likelihood of dual arrests to incarceration for self defense in domestic violence situations. The panel will also discuss black women becoming new gun owners as well as being more likely to bear the burden of losing a loved one due to domestic violence.
Panelists:
TaShun Bowden-Lewis, Esq., Chief Public Defender, State of Connecticut
Noelle M. St. Vil, PhD, LMSW, MSW, Assistant Professor, University at Buffalo School of Social Work
Liz Tobin-Tyler, JD, MA , Associate Professor of Health Services, Policy and Practice, Brown University School of Public Health
