In honor of World Suicide Prevention Day, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will host a Twitter chat with Lisa Horowitz, Ph.D., M.P.H., on September 10, 2013, from 2–3 pm ET. Dr. Horowitz is a senior clinician on the Psychiatric Consultation-Liaison Service in NIMH’s Office of the Clinical Director. She recently developed a suicide screening tool that emergency department doctors and nurses can use to detect youth at risk for attempting suicide. A Twitter chat is an organized event where people participate in an interactive conversation through tweets. The conversation usually focuses on a pre-arranged topic and specific tag (#) called a hashtag. Hashtags allow the conversation to be easily followed on Twitter. The chats are scheduled for a specific time and date, but are archived on this web page for viewing anytime. To participate, you will need a Twitter handle and account. If you prefer to simply observe the chat taking place, you may enter the specified hashtag at twubs to view the conversation in real-time. Email us at [email protected] if you have questions...and we’ll see you at our next Twitter chat! You can find this discussion under #NIMHchats. An archive of the chat will be posted shortly after the event.
