Helping Providers Improve Care for People at Risk for Suicide
How does this ECHO work?
Alongside a team of experts and specialists in the field, participants will:
- Promote evidence-based tools for identifying and evaluating those at risk for suicide.
- Teach best practices for treatment and application of care plans.
- Create a community of practice for sharing resources and overcoming barriers to treatment.
Suicide Prevention in Health Care ECHO educates and empowers healthcare professionals to competently and confidently treat individuals at risk for suicide.
A multidisciplinary team of mental health experts will share information about best practices, plans and procedures. Clinicians and emergency medicine professionals, school officials, law enforcement personnel and other professionals who interact with the mental health community are encouraged to participate.
The ECHO’s interactive online learning sessions will occur from noon to 1 p.m. every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month.
