Learn a practical, evidence-informed approach to suicide risk assessment. Develop the skills to assess risk, formulate findings, and support safe patient care.
Suicide risk assessment is one of the most important and often most challenging clinical skills in healthcare. Whether working in primary care, emergency medicine, hospital settings, or community practice, clinicians need a structured, evidence-informed approach to assessing suicide risk and making appropriate management decisions.
Through practical, case-based learning, this program equips participants with the knowledge and skills to conduct comprehensive suicide risk assessments, identify risk and protective factors, formulate an overall level of risk, and communicate assessment findings clearly and compassionately to support safe, patient-centred care.
