This is part of our Workshop Wednesday series that is held on the third Wednesday of each month.
Approximately 45% of persons who complete suicide visited their primary care provider within in a month of their death, whereas only 20% visited an actual mental health professional in that same time period. This single statistic highlights why suicide prevention in primary care must be integrated into clinic workflows to provide good, comprehensive clinical care. This training will provide information about suicide risk screening and assessment, brief interventions using an SBIRT and behavioral health consultant model, policies and procedures, and care models that clinics may be interested in implementing.
