As part of the Centre for Psychiatry Research’s Suicide Seminar series, Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman from Columbia University recently delivered a talk titled “Understanding Suicide in the United States in a Global Context.”
With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Harkavy-Friedman—Senior Vice President of Research at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Associate Professor at Columbia University—shared insights from her extensive research on suicidal behavior among adolescents and adults.
The seminar explored suicide prevention in both U.S. and global frameworks, translating cutting-edge research into clinical applications. Dr. Harkavy-Friedman was the first to investigate suicidal ideation among high school students, a groundbreaking contribution to the field.
This series, hosted by Professor Christian Rück, features leading experts from around the world and aims to deepen our understanding of suicide prevention.
