Caring Contacts Training

Suicide is a leading cause of death in Washington. Our rates of suicide are higher than the national average and are at risk of increasing further as the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. Medical professionals and client-facing staff are likely to interact with individuals considering suicide. It’s critical that we/they have the knowledge and tools to intervene and help those in a suicidal crisis.

Caring Contacts training will introduce you to a simple but powerful intervention that has demonstrated it can reduce suicidal ideation, attempts, hospitalization, and deaths. 

Caring Contacts is a one-hour, interactive, self-paced training course. Caring Contacts is intended for medical professionals and client-facing staff in WA state, and designed to address the public health crisis and give medical providers and client-facing staff additional tools to prevent suicide.

All Patients Safe: Firearms and Culture

Currently available at no cost, and $25 to receive Continuing Medical Education credits, these courses are a great way to build skills in providing culturally sensitive care. Click the links below to view and complete the courses.
Targeted Interventions: Firearms, Culture & Suicide Care
This course begins in Module 1 with a review of cultural factors related to firearms ownership and use, including types of firearms and locking devices.  Module 2 guides participants through frameworks to understand how firearms affect suicide risk and influence suicide care.  Finally, Module 3 reviews a process for culturally informed lethal means counseling with patients who own and use firearms.

​Hope and Recovery for Everyone: Cultural Factors in Suicide Care
​
This course applies a framework for developing cultural competency and cultural humility in health care to suicide care.  Participants will explore a clinically focused definition of culture and ways that cultural factors influence suicide risk.  Two clinical tools, the DSM-V Cultural Formulation Interview and the Cultural Assessment of Risk for Suicide Screener, are then introduced to help facilitate culturally sensitive assessment and management of suicide risk.
