All Patients Safe Training for Medical Professionals
Suicide is a silent epidemic and a public health issue.
It is among the leading causes of death in the U.S. (National Institute of Mental Health)
Medical professionals and client-facing staff can make an enormous impact on preventing suicides. They play an important role in educating all patients to proactively make homes safer to prevent suicide, accidents, and overdose/addiction.
To address suicide as a public health crisis, leading experts and health care organizations have collaborated to develop All Patients Safe: Suicide Prevention for Medical Professionals.
All Patients Safe is a three or six-hour interactive self-paced training course designed to address the public health crisis and give medical providers and client-facing staff some tools that can help.
This course meets Washington state licensure requirements for medical and other licensed professionals, and continuing education credit is available.
