This webinar focuses on how interdisciplinary fatality review committees can strengthen suicide prevention by improving the quality of information used to develop recommendations. Featuring Michael J. Staley, PhD, Suicide Prevention Research Coordinator at the Utah DHHS Office of the Medical Examiner, the session is designed primarily for community coalitions, state suicide prevention teams, fatality review committees, and the professionals who support and contribute to those efforts. Others who work adjacent to public health, medicolegal, and prevention systems may also find the discussion useful.

The session will cover common information gaps that committees face, practical ways to obtain richer context about a person’s life and circumstances, and how to translate that information into recommendations that are specific, actionable, and tied to real system opportunities.

The goal is to share implementation-ready approaches and highlight how Retrospective Fatality Analysis (RFA) can be integrated into committee workflows to enhance information, improve the clarity of findings, and support stronger prevention and postvention outcomes.

This webinar takes place from 12:00-1:00 PM EDT.
