STACEY FREEDENTHAL

I joined the faculty of the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work in 2005; I am now an associate professor. The classes I teach include Suicide Assessment and Interventions, Clinical Social Work Theory and Practice, and Social Justice Challenges in Mental Health Practice... I also have a small psychotherapy and consulting practice in Denver, which I started in 2012. I treat people with a wide range of challenges, but my practice specializes in helping people who have suicidal thoughts, attempted suicide, or experienced suicide loss... Writing is one of my passions. I have published two books, 30+ peer-reviewed scholarly articles in academic journals, and close to 100 articles on my website Speaking of Suicide. I am currently working on two book projects: a memoir about my experiences with suicidality, and a book for people with suicidal thoughts.
