Suicide Prevention in
Healthcare Settings
As part of our Project 2025 goal to reduce the national suicide rate, AFSP is focused on preventing suicide in relation to emergency department and health system engagement. Many people who are suicidal find themselves in emergency departments or are hospitalized, in part because clinicians may not feel confident in their ability to effectively evaluate and treat them. We invite healthcare professionals* and all those interested — individuals, family and community members — to join us for “Project 2025 – Raising Awareness for Suicide Treatment,” a new webinar in partnership with CAMS-care, which will offer evidence-based best practices for optimal clinical suicide prevention.
Moderated by Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman, AFSP’s vice president of research, the presentation will feature a lively interactive discussion from a range of expert perspectives, including Christine Moutier, M.D., AFSP's chief medical officer; David Jobes, Ph.D., professor of psychology at The Catholic University of America; and Ms. Diana Cortez Yanez, a leading voice from the lived-experience perspective.

Topics will include:

  • evidence-based suicide assessments
  • suicide-focused treatments
  • the use of medications
  • decreasing malpractice risk through sound clinical practice
We hope you will join us at 2 – 4 p.m. ET, Tuesday, February 2 on Zoom as we raise awareness about effective clinical care for suicide risk, and the importance of creating lives worth living.
* 2 Continuing Education Credits will be available for Psychologists, Social Workers, and Counselors at no charge
