Episode notes

There are huge advances going on with regard to the general public's understanding that suicide can be prevented. We're seeing engagement with industries far outside of health care, you know, with entertainment and news media. And now workplace suicide prevention is a very growing and hot area of interest in the construction industry. But for our own colleagues and ourselves, I see that as fitting in the public health perspective more as actually community-based suicide prevention.

Our physicians and expert guests will discuss practical strategies, actionable steps and evidence-based resources on how to identify those physicians and patients at-risk for suicide and connect them with the most appropriate care. Our guests include: Daniel Miller, MD, Chief of Graduate Medical Education and Behavioral Health Integration, Sun River Health; Christine Yu Moutier, MD, Chief medical officer, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention; Stephen O’Connor, PhD, Chief of the Suicide Prevention Research Program, National Institute of Mental Health; Scott Pasichow, MD, MPH, Assistant EMS medical director, Southern Illinois University; Lisa K. Kearney, Phd, ABPP, Executive director, Veterans Crisis Line (VCL)Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention (OMHSP) For more about the BHI Collaborative Overcoming Obstacles Series, go to www.ama-assn.org/bhiresources ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📺 Follow the AMA on YouTube: @americanmedicalassociation 🎥 Watch #AMAUpdate for the latest in health care news for physicians: https://bit.ly/AMA_Update 📧 Subscribe to AMA Morning Rounds newsletter, with the news you need every morning delivered to your inbox: https://bit.ly/AMA-MorningRounds 🎧 Listen to our latest podcast episodes now: https://bit.ly/AMA_Podcasts 📲 Download AMA Connect for news, podcasts, video updates and learning in one place: https://apple.co/3URzNES
