Screening and Assessment for Suicide Prevention

CCBH Presents: Health care providers can help identify persons at risk by carrying out screening programs. However, when screening for suicide risk, it is important to have resources and systems in place to connect anyone identified as being at risk to appropriate follow-up care and assistance. Screening efforts should never be standalone programs.
