The Northwest MHTTC sponsored a limited number of spots to the live virtual training Suicide Care in Health Care Systems. It is hosted by the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Center for Suicide Prevention & Recovery (CSPAR) and Suicide Care Research Center (SCRC) and supported in part by the National Institute of Health grant number P50MH129708.
This two-part, 6-hour LIVE virtual training is designed to provide primary care providers and behavioral health clinicians with an understanding of how best to serve patients across the suicide care pathway. The training will provide a conceptual model for understanding how suicidality develops and becomes acute as well as what the recommended pathway of care should be for patients at risk of suicide. This clinical pathway moves from identification of suicidal ideation to assessment, formulation, management, treatment, recovery, and follow‐up monitoring.
