This Month Don't Miss...

NEW! SPRC Research to Practice Webinar - Tuesday November 17th from 3:00pm - 4:30pm EST
Peggy West of SPRC will present the Suicide Prevention Toolkit for Rural Primary Care. This Toolkit, a collaborative project of the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) and the Western Interstate Commission of Higher Education (WICHE), Mental Health Program contains the information and tools needed to implement state-of-the-art suicide prevention practices in primary care settings. Although the tools are designed with the rural practice in mind, most are quite suitable for use in non-rural settings as well. The Toolkit includes sections on educating clinicians and office staff and developing mental health partnerships, as well as patient management tools and patient education tools.
