Providers are on the front lines
About 80% of youth who die by suicide interfaced with the medical system in the year preceding their death.
In contrast, only 20% of those youth had contact with a mental health professional.
PCMH developed a youth suicide prevention care pathway to help providers deliver suicide safer care. Rooted in the Zero Suicide framework, the pathway includes brief evidence-based interventions.
PARTNER WITH US TO IMPROVE CARE
Through the Pathway to Suicide Prevention program, PCMH offers free training and consultation to help clinics implement the youth suicide prevention care pathway. Participating providers learn what to do when a patient expresses thoughts of suicide and how to keep them safe until they receive the appropriate ongoing support.
Participating clinics receive:
Two one-hour
trainings
Pre- and post-
training consultation
One year of
implementation support
and data analysis
MOC4 (pediatricians) or
PI-MOC/CME (FP/NP/PA)
for participants
