SUMMARY:An Environmental Scan of Suicide Prevention Resources for Older Veterans in Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:January 10\, 2024 @ 2:00PM ET\nPresenters: Jennifer L. Sullivan\, PhD and Kelly O’Malley\, PhD \nPrevious research has identified the critical role of primary care in suicide prevention. Although several suicide prevention resources for primary care already exist\, it is unclear how many have been created specifically for older Veterans. This environmental scan sought to assemble a compendium of suicide prevention resources to be utilized in primary care. Jenny Sullivan\, PhD\, and Kelly O’Malley\, PhD will share how providers can bridge the knowledge gap when it comes to suicide risk management for older Veterans seen in primary care. \nFollowing this live webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe suicide prevention in Primary Care\nDiscuss available resources identified in an environmental scan\nIdentify clinical implications and future research\n\nLearn more and register online.
