This virtual, live training will provide a conceptual model for understanding how suicidality develops and becomes acute as well as what the recommended pathway of care should be for patients at risk of suicide.  This clinical pathway moves from identification of suicidal ideation to assessment, formulation, management, treatment, recovery, and follow‐up monitoring. General principles including guidance from The Joint Commission and other evidence‐based recommendations for identification, assessment, formulation, management and treatment of suicide risk will be presented in a 3‐hour plenary in the morning.  This will be followed by a choice of four 3‐hour concurrent sessions focused on treatment and recovery. Sessions to be named.

Registration will open in May 2024 for the September 2024 training.
