PRESENTATION:
Mental health and substance use clinicians play a key role in assessing and managing safety with individuals at risk for suicide. Integrating evidence-based strategies, the Connect Suicide Prevention program utilizes a unique community-based, public health approach to increase the competence of substance use and mental health providers in identifying and assessing suicide risk and working with individuals to achieve and sustain recovery and resiliency. This Connect Suicide Prevention and Intervention Training includes application of evidence- based practices identified in a Zero Suicide approach to include suicide risk formulation, safety planning, lethal means reduction and care transitions. There will be discussion on how to integrate key community services and support systems for creating an effective and comprehensive safety net. As a result of attending this training, participants will be able to:
recognize demographics related to risk factors and warning signs of suicide and strategies for intervention;
Understand evidence based practices concerning restricting access to lethal means, safe messaging and care transitions; and
Learn a research based model for risk formulation leading to safety planning.
