The rapid expansion of telehealth has important implications for how healthcare systems identify, assess, and treat suicide risk. From a Zero Suicide implementation perspective, understanding how virtual care affects clinical workflows, ethical responsibilities, and patient engagement is essential to safe, high-quality care.
This 90-minute webinar explores how suicide prevention practices can be adapted for telehealth, including remote risk evaluation, ethical considerations, suicide screening, and safety planning, while supporting consistent, system-wide approaches to suicide prevention. This training has been approved for 1.5 continuing education hours for psychologists and Nebraska LMHP/LIMHP.
