Suicide Prevention

Suicide is the second leading cause of death in teens, with rates increasing 56% over the past ten years. Pediatric primary care providers can identify youth at risk for suicide and connect them to intervention services.

This training provides screening tools to identify suicide risk, as well as resources for prevention, safety assessment, and treatment. Resources include use of lethal means restriction (LMR), mobile crisis services, and important instructions for follow-up care.

Practices receive:

• Validated screening tools
• Resources and/or referral information
• 1 CME credit
• Meal during the training
