We are on a journey researching more and more about resilience and its impacts on suicide prevention. On this journey, we have found a phenomenal Doctor of Clinical Psychology, Dr. Dianne Mani has worked with clients for over a decade now. She is continuing to do some remarkable work in the field. One of the many reasons we chose to interview Dr. Dianne is her experience with suicide prevention.
Dr. Dianne was the crisis team manager at Kaiser for five years and worked with suicide prevention daily! In her practice, she works from the frame of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Most of her work has been focused on one to one and group treatment. She has done talks on Eating Disorders and Perinatal Mood Disorder and participated in several Depression and Suicide Prevention Campaigns at Fresno City College and Kaiser to increase awareness, provide education on prevention, and identify and connect people with services as needed.
