SUMMARY:Navigating Collaboration with Differing Levels of Risk Tolerance around Suicidality
DESCRIPTION:Approaches to supporting individuals at risk of suicide can look different across the continuum of care. Emergency departments\, inpatient units\, outpatient clinics\, primary care\, crisis services\, schools\, and community programs each bring unique roles\, resources\, and constraints. These differences can sometimes create varying expectations and make care transitions more complex. \nThis webinar introduces a practical framework for understanding how perspectives on suicide risk vary across settings and professional roles\, and how teams can work together to provide safe\, person-centered care and smoother handoffs. \n1 continuing education credit approved for Allied Mental Health Practitioners\, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors\, Psychoanalysts\, Psychologists\, and Social Workers.
