Since our inception in the 1960s, the American Association of Suicidology has been the premier standards and accreditation body for Suicide Prevention practices. This 90-minute curriculum ensures primary care practitioners and staff have the knowledge and skills to include suicide risk assessments in routine office visits, elicit suicide risk when present, and work with patients to create treatment plans to reduce risk.
Purpose: The goal of the RRSR-PC is for primary care practitioners and staff to learn current best practices in eliciting suicide risk when present and meeting the needs of their distressed patients.
The training package includes:
- a facilitator-led slide presentation with video vignettes
- reproducible patient handouts
- a pocket assessment tool
An adolescent version is also available.
For more information, email Training@suicidology.org.
As an additional resource, physicians wishing to address screening for depression and suicide more globally in their practices can access a Suicide Prevention Toolkit for Primary Care Practices, from the Suicide Prevention Resource Center.
The RRSR-PC can be delivered in person, and 1.5 CME credit hours are available.
