Public Lecture Series: Cultural Humility in Suicide Risk Assessment and Prevention

👥 Open to all!

A primary area of focus of Dr. Clarke’s research involves understanding cultural and ethnoracial differences in the pathways to suicide risk and care. This presentation from her research will explore how cultural humility can strengthen suicide risk assessment and prevention by integrating empirical insights on culture and context. We will review research defining culture across domains of identity, beliefs, social structures, and practices, and highlight findings from studies and lived-experience accounts across diverse ethnoracial groups. Special attention will be given to evidence on how cultural identity influences suicide risk patterns, disclosure of suicidal thoughts, and treatment-seeking behaviors. The presentation will emphasize research gaps, methodological challenges, and opportunities for advancing culturally informed suicide prevention science.
