Held on Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024, at 10-11 a.m. ET
Co-Hosted by the Missouri Primary Care Association and Association of Clinicians for the Underserved as part of the MPCA/ACU Suicide Safer Care Webinar Series
This webinar will provide specific training and information geared for behavioral health providers practicing in primary care settings. Many behavioral health providers have never received training on how to identify, assess and care for patients at risk for suicide as part of their professional training. This training will focus on evidence-based interventions and techniques for assessing risk, restricting access to lethal means and safety planning. Suicide rates are increasing in communities across the country and the ability for behavioral health providers to care for them will help in reducing stress among behavioral health providers and reducing suicide rates overall.
Presenter:
- Dr. Virna Little, PSyD, LCSW-r, SAP, CCM, Co-Founder and Special Advisor for Advocacy & Research of Concert Health, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Zero Overdose

Using the Zero Suicide framework as a foundation and with the generous support of the Centene Corporation, the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved created the Suicide Safer Care curriculum to train primary care providers and their teams on skills for suicide risk assessment, evidence-based interventions, referral and transition when needed, and changing the culture of addressing suicide risk across clinical practice. Learn more about the curriculum and useful resources for primary care providers, including pediatric, geriatric, and adult suicide prevention toolkits.
