Swift Intervention: Managing Adolescent Suicide Risk is designed to equip emergency department healthcare professionals with the necessary skills to recognize and address the rising incidence of suicide among adolescents, a leading cause of death in individuals aged 10 to 24. Participants will learn to identify key risk factors, screen for suicidal ideation, and apply evidence-based interventions, including safety planning, lethal means counseling, and appropriate referral practices. The training emphasizes the role of emergency and pediatric HCPs in early detection and intervention, crucial in a landscape where mental health services are in short supply and the stakes are high.
