Youth with complex suicide prevention needs often seek services outside of the mental health system, but many primary care providers report not having the skills or confidence to manage these complex cases. As a result, today’s youth may not be receiving the care they need. This ECHO series expands Partners for Children’s Mental Health’s (PCMH) first ECHO series, Pediatric Suicide Prevention: A Practical Care Pathway for Primary Care, by addressing barriers identified by providers in primary care that often arise when delivering care to suicidal youth. This advanced series builds off the Zero Suicide care pathway by educating participants about navigating family systems, using skills to manage acute emotional distress and supporting families with mental health resources. Sessions include a brief didactic presentation by an expert followed by interactive Q&A and discussion of patient case examples. Resources and referral information will be shared throughout the series.

Please note that the target audience for this series includes health care and behavioral health providers in outpatient primary care/integrated medical settings. However, all support staff working in medical or behavioral health integrated/outpatient settings are welcome to register.
