ECHO-Chicago: Suicide Prevention for Behavioral Health Providers
October 17, 2023 to December 19, 2023
Join us on this transformative journey and become part of a dedicated network committed to positively impacting mental healthcare!
Embark on a 10-week training program tailored to behavioral health providers in Mental Health Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) across Illinois. This comprehensive program will equip behavioral health professionals with the latest evidence-based, patient-centered best practices in suicide prevention.
Throughout the program, participants will engage in a combination of didactic sessions and role-play simulations. These sessions delve into the most current research and strategies in the field. Following this, participants will lead at least two case presentations lasting 35-40 minutes each, providing an opportunity to discuss actual cases, share experiences, and explore challenges and successes.
Inspired by the format of medical rounds, this program encourages open discussions and active application of knowledge gained. It fosters community, allowing participants to draw upon their experiences and support one another. This collaborative environment will build the capacity for effective suicide prevention among behavioral health professionals.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for community-based behavioral health professionals providing care to patients at risk for suicide.
Learning Objectives
After this activity, participants will be able to:
- Recall changes in population-level risk factors for suicide and psychological and biological precedents to completed suicide;
- Recognize the components of a trauma-informed system-level root cause analysis that moves the focus away from mistakes and to systems;
- Identify the levels of mental health care resources needed to build a system for referral and follow-up;
- Relate challenges faced by patients post-acute mental health care and potential solutions;
- Discuss the role of primary care clinicians in screening for suicide risk and high-risk populations for suicidality;
- Describe the core elements of suicide safety planning for use at home and in the community;
- Explain how and why a system-level approach prevents suicide in individual patients;
- Demonstrate how to use and administer the Brief Suicide Safety Assessment and Caregiver Abuse Screen.
