ACADEMY DESCRIPTION

The Zero Suicide Academy® is a two-day training for senior leaders of health and behavioral health care organizations that seek to dramatically reduce suicides among patients in their care. Using the Zero Suicide framework, participants learn how to incorporate best and promising practices into their organizations and processes to improve care and safety for individuals at risk. Zero Suicide Institute staff and faculty provide both interactive presentations and small group sessions, collaborating with participants to develop organization-specific action plans.
