 As+K about Suicide to Save a Life

A Workshop for Clinicians that Interact with

Youth or Adults at Risk of Suicide

 with Carroll Campion Prasad


Join Carroll Campion Prasad, LPC-S, in this workshop for adults who interact with youth or adults at risk of suicide. The program provides participants with an overview of the basic epidemiology of suicide and suicidal behavior, including risk and protective factors. Participants are trained to gather more information about a person’s risk and act consistent with that risk if they identify a person who is not acutely suicidal.

Carroll Prasad is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and is currently the Manager of the Community Training Department at the Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD. Carroll is currently serving on the Harris Center’s Resiliency Team which assist the community following a crisis such as a shooting or suicide.  Carroll facilitates evidenced-based training such as Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid, safeTALK, ASK about Suicide, and is a Master Trainer in Applied Suicide Intervention and Skills Training (ASIST).  The focus of these trainings is suicide prevention, intervention, and mental health education.   She is passionate about teaching community members to become gatekeepers of hope for those struggling with thoughts of suicide.  Her wish for the future is to decrease the stigma of mental illness by facilitating open, honest, community conversations about all types of health.
