About the Event

Introducing the 2023 Zero Suicide Institute Global Forum, in partnership with Behavioral Health Tech (BHT2023). BHT2023 is an integrated online/virtual and in-person event that brings together top healthcare leaders, behavioral health experts, digital health innovators, and policymakers from around the world to revolutionize access to behavioral healthcare.

With BHT's support, we're launching a Zero Suicide track, designed to advance healthcare systems and industry leaders' progress towards effective safer suicide care. Expect riveting discussions on topics including:

• Visionary leadership
• Data-driven approaches
• Hope and recovery principles
• Effective treatment for suicidal individuals
• The transformative power of Zero Suicide on healthcare culture

The Zero Suicide track includes a live panel at BHT2023 as well as a free all-day virtual event on November 16th, 2023. The in-person conference will take place in Phoenix, AZ at the Arizona Biltmore Waldorf Astoria. The full agenda for the virtual track is available on the BHT website.

Sign up for the Global Forum and have access to the recordings all year. Throughout this event, healthcare leaders will have the opportunity to learn, network, and collaborate with other leaders from across the globe.
