In observation of National Suicide Prevention Month this September, we encourage you to visit the Banner Health Library website to access current knowledge-based, clinical information resources. Request training in the use of library resources for you or team! You can also request individual, full-text articles or a literature search on your topic(s) of choice. 

The subject of suicide is delicate and deserving of the utmost attention and care.  As I write this, my former classmates are mired in the thick fog of grief, trying to reconcile the death of a friend and loved one whose life was cut short. No one is exempt from the terrible pervasiveness of suicide. I wish I could say this is an isolated incident, but it's not. In the past 18 months alone, I have known far too many individuals whose lives have been massively and abrupted flipped upside-down in the wake of suicide. 

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, discussions about healthcare delivery and suicide prevention are more urgent than ever. If you would like assistance locating timely, knowledge-based resources on many different aspects of suicide awareness and prevention, please contact library staff for support. We are here to support you.
