Webinar: Preventing suicide in healthcare settings: What we are learning

This webinar will examine suicide prevention in health care settings. It will compare progress that has been made in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths with the lack of progress in reducing suicide deaths. Interventions that have reduced CVD deaths will be compared with interventions that are available to reduce suicide in terms of effectiveness and cost. The available tools for "suicide care" have comparable effectiveness and cost to effective CVD interventions. We should focus on improved use of these effective tools.

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify two approaches to reducing CVD deaths that have significantly helped reduce the death rate.
  2. Identify at least three "suicide care" interventions that have comparable effectiveness and cost effectiveness to the effective CVD interventions.
  3. Identify one resource for information and training on these suicide care interventions..
