Recognizing and Responding to Suicide Risk: Essential Skills for Clinicians (RRSR)

RRSR is an interactive training based on the core competencies mental health professionals need to know and be able to apply in order to effectively assess and manage suicide risk.

RRSR in Primary Care

The RRSR-PC was developed to provide Physicians (PCPs), Nurses/Nurse Practitioners, and Physicians Assistants with the knowledge they need in order to include suicide risk assessments in routine office visits, to elicit risk, and work with patients to create treatment plans.

20% of those who die by suicide visited their PCP within 24 hours of their death...you could be the last medical professional they see.

The American Association of Suicidology, the experts in suicide prevention training for health care professionals, is pleased to announce 4 webinar presentations of Recognizing and Responding to Suicide Risk in Primary Care. This 90-minute program, utilizing clinical video vignettes, provides the learner with an interactive approach to recognizing the signs of depression and determining suicide risk. But it's more than just a webinar. You will come away with tools you can take back to your practice to put into use immediately.
