Join us to explore how frontline staff can step into leadership roles to advance Zero Suicide implementation, foster a just culture, and drive safer suicide care.
A Roadmap for Zero Suicide Champions
Zero Suicide presents an aspirational challenge and practical framework for systems-wide transformation toward safer suicide care. This webinar explores the role of frontline staff in implementation—from the direct care provided to individuals with suicide risk to leading efforts for action planning, implementation and sustainability. We will highlight prevention, intervention and postvention strategies, quality improvement techniques, and organization-level actions that promote safer suicide care and the development of a just culture.
Leading Zero Suicide from the Frontline Series
All staff have a role in preventing suicide, but frontline professionals—such as social workers, psychologists, nurses, peer support specialists, and supervisors—are uniquely positioned to drive meaningful Zero Suicide implementation. Their direct service experience provides critical insight into what works, what doesn’t, and where systems can improve.
Advancing Zero Suicide as a Frontline Provider is a free, three-part webinar series designed for health and behavioral health staff working in clinical, direct service, and leadership roles. The series explores evidence-informed strategies, practical tools, and real-world interventions to support frontline staff in implementing Zero Suicide and advocating for system-wide transformation toward safer suicide care.
