American Association of Suicidology (AAS) 54th Annual Conference

American Association of Suicidology (AAS) 54th Annual Conference is organized by American Association of Suicidology (AAS) and will be held from Apr 21 - 24, 2021 at Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace - Disney Springs Area, Lake Buena Vista, Florida, United States of America. The conference will take place via a unique format - both In - Person and Virtual.

Description:
This hybrid approach will enable AAS to critically broaden its conference impact at such a pivotal time. At its annual conference, AAS provides the time and space for everyone - clinicians, researchers, those with lived experience, public health officials, and others - to connect and learn about ways in which we can all address the rising rate of suicide in the US and abroad while also discovering ways to create a world worth living in. 

AAS21 will focus on blending diverse content, including new and innovative research and intervention practices. The conference will meet the needs of the field’s diverse audience while convening world leaders in suicide prevention to spur robust conversations and to build collaborations to achieve our shared vision and goals. This year’s conference will bring balance and stability to a field that has experienced a tremendous amount of change and growth in the last year, relying on the cross-pollination of specialties and expertise of attendees to break down barriers and silos that have traditionally stalled effective solutions. True, effective, public health and socially-focused suicide prevention requires everyone’s voice to find a path forward, while continuing to recognizing the accomplishments of past science and research. The field must move from reactionary efforts to effective implementation of research, prevention, and treatment. 

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
