TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Identifying and responding to suicidality: evidence-based strategies for early childhood home visitors JO - Early childhood education journal A1 - Lund, Emily M. A1 - Corr, Catherine P. A1 - DurĂ¡n, Lillian K. SP - 949 EP - 957 VL - 50 IS - 6 N2 - Suicide is a major public health issue, and a leading cause of death in the United States. Caregivers of young children with or at-risk for disabilities and developmental delays may experience significant life stressors that increase their risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Early childhood special education (ECSE) home visitors may be in a prime position to notice and intervene in these situations but may lack the training and confidence to do so. This article outlines evidence-based strategies for identifying and responding to possible suicidal thoughts and behaviors in the context of ECSE home visiting.
