DESCRIPTION:The Social Roots of High School Suicide Clusters  by Seth Abrut
 yn\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of British C
 olumbia. Dr. Abrutyn is a leading expert on youth suicide as well as a gen
 eral sociologist whose research rests at the intersection of mental health
 \, emotions\, social psychology\, and culture\, and which has won several 
 national awards. His overarching goals as a social scientist are to merge 
 sociological theory with the public imagination in hopes of making accessi
 ble sociological tools in the service of solving social problems.\n\nHybri

 hough the causes of suicide are complex\, suicide prevention focuses dispr
 oportionately (1) on individual risk and protective factors and (2) on cri
 sis intervention rather than on building social worlds where youth can thr
 ive and get help when needed. This presentation will illustrate why neglec
 ting the social roots of suicide and up-stream solutions is problematic by
  presenting empirical evidence from a school with a significant adolescent
  suicide problem (including recurring youth suicide clusters). This study 
 will demonstrate that the social worlds youth inhabit matter greatly to yo
 uth’s experiences of psychological pain and their willingness to get help.
  These social worlds are also malleable and ripe for upstream intervention
 s. After this presentation attendees will have a better understanding of (
 1) the social roots of suicide and (2) why they matter to both (a) youth s
 uicide risk and (b) to building effective suicide prevention and postventi
 on. Attendees will also gain insights into (3) actionable strategies to ta
 ke back to their communities to begin conversations for change.\n
