Event Info
Description: The workshop‘s goal is to provide medical professionals with an introduction to safety planning, including increasing knowledge about the background of safety plans and increasing confidence in supporting patients in developing one. Developed in collaboration with a patient, a safety plan can prevent crises from escalating by providing a person with tangible self-help coping strategies, including determining who can be most helpful during a crisis. Knowing that people who are experiencing suicidal thoughts are more likely to reach out to their primary care provider for support first, rather than a mental health professional, it highlights the key role medical settings play in suicide prevention. Intended for medical professionals and those working in health care settings in Alameda County, however all are welcome!
