Suicide Prevention and Management in Healthcare Practice Settings

The virtual Suicide Prevention in Management in Healthcare Practice Settings will be held on Monday, June 9th, 2025 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM over Zoom. *Participants will receive access to the Zoom link in a reminder email that will be sent closer to the training date.

A Maine citizen is 12.4 times more likely to die by suicide than by homicide (2018-2020), yet suicide is among the most preventable forms of death. Healthcare practice settings provide an excellent venue for the identification and assessment of suicide risk and the provision of ongoing care to assist in the management of the drivers of suicide.

This 1-hour presentation will provide updated information on trends in suicidal behavior across the lifespan and an overview of the best-practice approach to suicide identification, assessment, and management of suicide within a practice or hospital setting. Tools for practice will be offered to address assessment, Collaborative Safety Planning and coordinated follow-up. This presentation is appropriate to any professional working in a medical, clinical or behavioral health role: medical providers, nurses, social workers and ancillary clinicians, and support staff.
