Zero Suicide Institute at Education Development Center (EDC) was selected as a winner in the 25th anniversary Digital Health Awards® program, which recognizes the best in digital health resources. Our six-part resource series Suicide Care Insights: Stories & Tips for Your Implementation received three awards chosen from more than 800 entries judged by a panel of distinguished experts in digital health media.

• In the category of Web-Based Digital Health: Microsite Suicide Care Insights won a Merit Award
• The article "Suicide Care Insights: Self-Care" won a Bronze Award in Digital Health Media: Article
• Zero Suicide Institute was awarded a Gold Award in the category of Digital Health Media: Video for "Suicide Care Insights: Patient Loss"

In Suicide Care Insights: Stories & Tips for Your Implementation, Zero Suicide Institute identified six topics related to workforce wellbeing and how safe suicide care can transform organizational culture. We present them as a series of six resources using a mixed-media approach. Three of the resources are in the form of recorded stories. The other three are downloadable tips on how and what to implement to support and improve care for patients. Zero Suicide implementers inspired by the series are invited to share their own experiences and insights.

Zero Suicide Institute at EDC staff, faculty, and contributors involved in the creation, production, and design of Suicide Care Insights include Barb Gay, Kathy Lisborg, Teresa Sherman, Jan Ulrich, AK Watkins, Erin Goodman, Shelby Kuhn, Toni Simonson, Kim Walton, Meredith Boginski, Hemali Patel, Jennifer Roscoe, Michele Shortley, Marshall Goff, Moya Hines, Teo Vitkauskas, and Rebecca Raeder. Special thanks to our late colleagues Sadé Heart of the Hawk Ali and Diana Cortez Yañez, who lent their powerful stories and voices to the series. 

The resource series was created with input from our partners at Brave Health and generous support from Johnson & Johnson–Janssen.
