Investigating Suicide and Self Harm Deaths
I though this was a good training. The only thing I though could be changed is that it is very similar to the Response and Understanding a Death Scene training. I would have just taken the one had I known how similar they would be. That being said, I did like the training and took plenty of notes.

Suicide and Self-Harm Death Investigations
My fields of expertise as a PhD-level psychologist are police officer self-regulation and police stress. My postdoctoral studies are in suicidology, primarily among police officers and, to a degree, other first responders. This course was not only highly informative and relevant, but also realistic. My son was murdered five years ago. His body was found on 28 April, 2021 in an advanced stage of decomposition. The funeral director estimated his time of death to be 07 April, 2021. In my professional opinion, having served as a police officer for 18 years before leaving the police service to complete my PhD, several variables exist indicating the death investigation of my son was, at best, marginally conducted by a "homicide investigator" with a whole three years of police experience. His death was ruled a suicide, although several factors exist that indicate otherwise, including a missing firearm. This course helped affirm my suspicions. Another factor the last person he spoke with via text was never interviewed, according to that person. During this course, especially in the end modules, I cried. I vomited. I threw items in anger. That is how realistic the course was. Thank you for putting together an excellent course, and I look forward to taking others as I continue working on becoming certified to conduct psychological autopsies and making suicidology a third and final field of expertise.
