RFA in Practice: An Open Discussion

Retrospective Fatality Analysis is a powerful tool for understanding suicide and other deaths through the stories, experiences, and perspectives of those who knew the person best. Yet many professionals have questions about conducting informant interviews, using the RFA protocol, engaging survivors, managing difficult situations, and translating information into meaningful findings and recommendations.

This interactive roundtable is designed for current RFA practitioners, individuals who conduct informant interviews, professionals considering RFA training or certification, and anyone interested in learning more about the process. Rather than a formal presentation, this session will focus on open discussion, shared learning, and practical problem-solving.

Participants are encouraged to bring questions, challenges, successes, and ideas for improving practice. Topics may include preparing for interviews, building rapport, navigating emotional conversations, documenting findings, identifying contributing factors, developing recommendations, working with communities, and strengthening the overall RFA process.

Whether you are an experienced practitioner or just beginning to explore the use of Retrospective Fatality Analysis, this conversation offers an opportunity to learn from others, share your perspective, and help shape the future of RFA practice.

Come ready to ask questions, share experiences, and join the discussion.

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