Session on Suicide Care Journey Stories
Representatives from health systems across the country will share their suicide care journeys over the past year and how they use quality improvement methodology in collaboration with each other to improve suicide care as part of the Suicide Care Collaborative Innovation and Improvement Network (SC CoIIN).
Systems will share improvements implemented and lessons they learned along the way in a panel discussion facilitated by the Zero Suicide Institute at EDC.

Zero Suicide Toolkit: The Zero Suicide model operationalizes the core components necessary for health care systems to transform suicide care into seven elements. The Toolkit uses research, tools, and videos to walk implementers through putting the Zero Suicide model into practice.
Toolkit Adaptations: Zero Suicide is an adaptable model appropriate for a range of health and behavioral health settings and applicable across populations. Toolkit Adaptations are designed to complement the Zero Suicide Toolkit by filtering each element through a setting- and population-specific lens.
