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 learn current best practices related to youth and young adults. It provides the knowledge and skills to include suicide risk assessments in routine office visits, elicit suicide risk when present, and work with their youth and young adult patients to create treatment plans to reduce risk. 

The training package includes:

  • a pocket assessment tool
  • reproducible patients handouts
  • a facilitator-led slide presentation with video vignettes

The RRSR-PC-Y can be delivered in person or by webinar, and 1.5 CME credit hours are available.

The goal of the RRSR-PC-Y is for primary care practitioners of youth and young adults and staff to learn current best practices in eliciting suicide risk when present and meeting the needs of their distressed patients.
